Rat Lipoxin A4 (LXA4) ELISA Kit

From Assay Genie, this Competitive ELISA Kit is designed for research use only and provides a reliable means of detecting lipoxin A4 (LXA4) in rat-derived samples. The assay uses a colorimetric detection method in a solid-phase format, with a working range of 31.2-2000 pg/mL. Validated sample types include serum and plasma, with additional protocols described for tissue homogenates and other biological specimens.

Lipoxin A4 is a potent anti-inflammatory lipid mediator recognised for its role in resolving inflammation and promoting tissue repair. Dysregulation of LXA4 levels has been linked to inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease, making accurate measurement of this mediator valuable for researchers studying inflammation, immune responses, and related diseases in rat models.

The kit is supplied with a dismountable ELISA microplate, a lyophilised standard, sample diluent, assay diluents A and B, detection reagents A and B, wash buffer, substrate, stop solution, and plate sealer. Most reagents are stored at -20°C, with the wash buffer, substrate, and stop solution stored at 4°C; optical density values are read at 450 nm.
