Rat Mannose Receptor C Type 1 (MRC1) ELISA Kit

This colorimetric ELISA kit from Assay Genie enables quantitative measurement of rat Mannose Receptor C Type 1 (CD206) in research specimens. MRC1 is an approximately 175 kDa type I transmembrane C-type lectin expressed predominantly on M2-polarized macrophages, dendritic cells, and selected endothelial populations, serving as a canonical marker in studies of alternative activation, wound healing, fibrotic disease models, tumor microenvironment characterization, and innate immune regulation.

The 96-assay plate format accommodates serum or plasma specimens as well as tissue homogenates prepared from rat origin material, supporting longitudinal sampling in disease models and pharmacologic intervention studies. Each kit is intended for research use only and follows standard ELISA methodology with absorbance readout compatible with benchtop microplate readers commonly found in immunology laboratories.

Lot-specific performance documentation accompanies every shipment, and all required components — including pre-coated plate, standards, and detection antibodies — are supplied together. Researchers working on macrophage polarization, pathogen recognition pathways, or phagocytic activity will find this kit a practical addition to the M1/M2 phenotyping toolbox.
