Rat S100 Calcium Binding Protein A8 (S100A8) ELISA Kit

S100A8, also known as myeloid-related protein 8 (MRP8) or calgranulin A, belongs to the S100 family of calcium-binding proteins and typically dimerizes with S100A9 to form the calprotectin heterodimer, a well-established biomarker of acute and chronic inflammation. The Assay Genie rat S100A8 ELISA Kit is configured as a two-antibody capture immunoassay for quantitative measurement of S100A8 in rat-derived specimens. The kit's protocol accommodates a panel of sample matrices including serum fractions, plasma-derived preparations, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, and cell culture supernatants, supporting applications in inflammation research, immunology, and preclinical rat model studies. Absorbance-based readout is achieved through standard microplate-based measurement, and the kit is supplied in a 96 assays format. Reagents are intended for research use only and are not validated for diagnostic procedures. Investigators characterizing neutrophil activation, sepsis, autoimmune inflammation, or calprotectin-associated pathways in rat systems will find this kit applicable to their experimental workflows.
