Rat MMP-8 PharmaGenie ELISA Kit (SBRS1682)

Matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8), a zinc-dependent collagenase released by neutrophils during inflammation, is measured quantitatively with this 96-assay immunoassay kit from Assay Genie. The assay is configured for rat-derived sample matrices, including cell culture supernatants from stimulated primary neutrophils or tissue explants, lithium-heparin plasma, and serum collected from rodent disease models. Research applications include collagen-induced arthritis studies, zymosan-induced peritonitis, LPS-challenged acute lung injury, periodontitis models, and cardiovascular remodeling investigations in which MMP-8 release is tracked longitudinally. Supplied as a microplate kit with pre-coated wells, lyophilized standards, biotinylated detection antibody, streptavidin-HRP conjugate, substrate solution, and stop reagent, the workflow follows a standard quantitative immunoassay protocol read on a conventional plate reader. Researchers pair this kit with downstream western blot confirmation or zymography when orthogonal validation of MMP-8 activity is required in their experimental design.
