Rat PDCD1LG2 (Programmed Cell Death Protein 1 Ligand 2) ELISA Kit (RTES01137)

This quantitative immunoassay from Assay Genie measures Programmed Cell Death Protein 1 Ligand 2 (PD-L2, also called B7-DC) in rat samples. PD-L2 is a type I transmembrane protein of the B7 family that engages the PD-1 receptor on activated T cells, delivering an inhibitory signal that modulates T cell proliferation and cytokine production.

The rat-specific kit is intended for research use only and supports studies in immune checkpoint biology, tumor immunology, transplant rejection models, and autoimmune disease research in rodent systems. PD-L2 expression is often examined on dendritic cells, macrophages, and certain tumor lines, where its interaction with PD-1 contributes to peripheral tolerance and immune evasion. The kit is supplied as a complete reagent set across a 96-assay plate configuration suitable for routine laboratory workflows.

An absorbance-based readout enables quantification using a standard microplate reader. Researchers measuring circulating or tissue-derived PD-L2 in rat models of inflammation, chronic infection, or checkpoint inhibitor therapy will find this kit a focused tool for biomarker analysis. All reagents should be handled according to standard immunoassay laboratory practice.
