Rat Thrombospondin 1/TSP-1 ELISA Kit

Designed by Assay Genie for the accurate quantitative detection of rat Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), this Sandwich ELISA uses a double-antibody, colorimetric workflow. The kit is reactive with rat samples and validated for serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, cell or tissue lysate, and other liquid sample types.

Reported performance characteristics include a sensitivity of 1.875 ng/mL and an assay range of 3.125-200 ng/mL, with storage at 2-8°C for 12 months. Linearity across 1:2, 1:4 and 1:8 dilutions has been demonstrated in serum (89-105%, 88-104%, 85-102%), EDTA plasma (85-101%, 84-101%, 84-101%) and heparin plasma (88-98%, 92-95%, 80-100%), and spike-and-recovery averages of 97% (serum), 94% (EDTA plasma) and 96% (heparin plasma) have been reported.

TSP-1 is implicated in cellular adhesion, migration and angiogenesis, and plays roles in modulating the tumour microenvironment, regulating inflammation and influencing tissue repair. The kit is therefore positioned for research into cancer progression, cardiovascular disease and wound healing. The associated UniProt entry is M0R979.
