Rat TSP-1 (Thrombospondin 1) ELISA Kit (RTES00805)

Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) is a multifunctional matricellular glycoprotein that influences angiogenesis, platelet aggregation, transforming growth factor-beta activation, and extracellular matrix remodeling. Quantitative measurement of circulating TSP-1 in rat models supports research programs in vascular biology, cardiac fibrosis, tumor-stroma interactions, and wound-healing studies.

The Assay Genie Rat TSP-1 ELISA Kit enables quantitative measurement in rat-derived specimens using a paired-antibody immunoassay format with an absorbance-based read-out. Each kit supplies reagents sufficient for 96 individual determinations and is configured for use with liquid rat samples harvested from experimental cohorts. The protocol is performed in microplate wells, and the resulting signal is captured on a standard plate reader.

Unopened kits should be refrigerated and protected from light to preserve antibody binding activity through the kit's stated shelf life. The kit is intended for research use only and is not validated for diagnostic procedures in humans.
