Rat Interleukin 1 Receptor Associated Kinase 4 (IRAK4) ELISA Kit

Quantify interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 in rat specimens using this rat-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay from Assay Genie. IRAK4 occupies a pivotal position in innate immune signaling, sitting directly downstream of MyD88 to relay activation from most Toll-like receptors and the IL-1 family of cytokine receptors. Measuring its abundance in preclinical rat models helps researchers characterize inflammatory cascades, evaluate candidate kinase inhibitors, and investigate conditions where TLR-driven pathways contribute to pathology, from rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus models to sepsis and acute lung injury studies. The kit ships with reagents sufficient for 96 assays in a colorimetric format readable on a standard microplate reader, supporting studies of splenic, hepatic, and lymphoid tissue homogenates where IRAK4 expression shifts are of interest. Each lot is validated for use with rat-derived specimens, enabling comparison across treatment groups in pharmacological and toxicological research programs.
