Rat Phospholipase A2, Lipoprotein Associated (LpPLA2) ELISA Kit

The Assay Genie LpPLA2 rat immunoassay kit provides a quantitative tool for measuring lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 levels in preclinical research samples. LpPLA2, also called PLA2G7 or PAF-AH, circulates predominantly bound to LDL particles and is widely investigated as a vascular inflammation marker linked to atherosclerotic plaque progression, coronary heart disease risk, and stroke outcomes. Researchers studying cardiometabolic disease, lipid metabolism, or vascular biology use this assay to evaluate enzyme levels in rat models of diet-induced atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, or pharmacologic intervention.

The kit is supplied in a 96-assay microplate format, supporting medium-throughput screening across diverse rat specimen types including tissue homogenate, with applicability to serum-based and plasma-based study samples. Absorbance-based readout enables standard quantitation on routine plate readers commonly available in research laboratories. Each kit includes the essential components for the binding reaction, with a protocol optimized for rat biological matrices. Refrigerated storage preserves antibody and standard stability across multiple uses, and the format supports research use only applications in basic and preclinical laboratories.

Beyond cardiovascular research, the kit supports investigations into inflammatory pathways, drug efficacy assessment in lipid-lowering or anti-inflammatory studies, and translational work where rat LpPLA2 levels are correlated with human biomarker findings.
