Rat Thrombospondin 1 (THBS1) ELISA Kit

For researchers investigating cardiovascular remodeling, wound healing, or tumor-stroma interactions in rodent models, this Assay Genie kit delivers quantitative measurement of thrombospondin 1 (THBS1), a trimeric matricellular glycoprotein of approximately 450 kDa that is released from platelet alpha-granules and synthesized by many parenchymal and stromal cell types. Circulating THBS1 concentrations change in rat models of cardiac fibrosis, diabetic nephropathy, pulmonary hypertension, and chronic allograft rejection, making accurate plasma quantification a recurring need in preclinical cardiovascular and metabolic research programs. The kit is configured as a complete in vitro immunoassay with pre-coated plate wells, biotinylated detection antibody, streptavidin-HRP conjugate, calibrated reference standards, and substrate solution, providing reagents sufficient for 96 assays read on a standard microplate reader. Plasma is the validated specimen type; reagents should be stored refrigerated and protected from light, with all handling limited to research use only.
