Rat NEFL (Neurofilament, Light Polypeptide) ELISA Kit (RTES01149)

For preclinical neuroscience research in rat models, the Assay Genie Rat NEFL ELISA Kit enables quantitative measurement of neurofilament light polypeptide (NfL), a cytoskeletal intermediate filament protein expressed in myelinated axons of the central and peripheral nervous system. Circulating NfL concentration has become an informative indicator of axonal injury, neurodegeneration, and neuroinflammatory processes, and is widely used as a biomarker in studies of traumatic brain injury, ischemic stroke, spinal cord trauma, peripheral neuropathy, environmental neurotoxicology, and neurodegenerative disease models.

Intended for in vitro research use only, this 96 assays kit is compatible with standard microplate absorbance instrumentation. Investigators can apply it to monitor NfL dynamics across treatment cohorts, surgical interventions, and longitudinal time-course experiments. The kit's reagents are formulated to support reproducible standard curves and consistent inter-assay performance across repeated runs.

Specimens collected from rat models include circulating samples, cerebrospinal fluid, and tissue homogenates, allowing flexibility across in vivo study designs and downstream ex vivo analysis. Unopened components should be stored refrigerated and protected from light to preserve antibody binding activity throughout the kit's working shelf life.
