Rat IL-24 ELISA Kit (RTES00844)

Interleukin-24 (IL-24), a member of the IL-10 family of cytokines also known as MDA-7, has well-characterized roles in tumor cell apoptosis, innate immunity, and epithelial differentiation. The Assay Genie rat IL-24 quantitation kit provides researchers with a reagent set for measuring this cytokine in rat-derived research specimens, supporting studies in melanoma biology, inflammatory disease modeling, and cytokine pathway characterization.

Supplied as a complete paired-antibody reagent set, the kit contains a pre-coated microplate, biotinylated detection antibody, streptavidin-enzyme conjugate, and a calibrated recombinant standard. An enzymatic chromogenic reaction produces a measurable absorbance change read on a standard microplate reader, with reagents sufficient for one full plate of determinations. All components require refrigerated storage to preserve antibody binding activity and standard integrity through the labeled shelf life.

Typical downstream applications include cytokine profiling in rodent disease models, mechanistic studies of IL-24-driven apoptosis pathways, and screening of candidate therapeutics that modulate IL-10 family cytokine signaling. Specimens are prepared from blood-derived fractions (such as plasma or serum) or from clarified tissue homogenates, with appropriate protease inhibitor cocktails recommended when working with cellular lysates. The kit is intended for research use only and is not validated for clinical diagnostic procedures.
