The Rat C5a Complement C5a ELISA Kit from AssayGenie is a highly sensitive and specific assay designed for the accurate measurement of C5a levels in rat serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. This kit produces reliable and reproducible results, making it an invaluable tool for researchers studying the role of C5a in inflammation, immune responses, and various disease states. C5a is a key component of the complement system and plays a crucial role in regulating immune responses and inflammation. Dysregulation of C5a has been implicated in a variety of inflammatory conditions, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases.
The ability to accurately measure C5a levels in biological samples is essential for understanding its role in these processes and developing targeted therapies. With its high sensitivity and specificity, the Rat C5a Complement C5a ELISA Kit provides researchers with a powerful tool for investigating the role of C5a in disease pathogenesis and evaluating the efficacy of potential therapeutic interventions. This kit is easy to use and delivers reliable results, making it an essential addition to any research laboratory focused on immunology, inflammation, or infectious diseases.

Step
Procedure
1
Reagent & Plate Preparation: Equilibrate reagents and TMB substrate to room temperature. Set standard, test sample and control (zero) wells on the pre-coated plate and record their positions.
2
Primary Incubation: Prepare standards, samples, blanks and load into designated wells. Incubate plate at 37°C for 90 minutes to allow antigen binding.
3
Detection Antibody Binding: Add biotin-labeled detection antibody and incubate at 37°C for 60 minutes.
4
HRP-Streptavidin Binding: Add HRP-Streptavidin (SABC) and incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes.
5
Color Development: Add TMB substrate and incubate in the dark for 10–20 minutes.
6
Stop Reaction & Reading: Add stop solution and measure absorbance at 450 nm immediately.
