Feline ELISA Kits

Introduction

ELISA kits can detect a wide range of molecules, including pathogen antigens, tumor markers, hormones, enzymes, and other large and small molecule antigens, making them crucial tools for research into feline-related diseases and epidemiology. BioVenic has developed various sandwich or competitive ELISA kits targeting common feline biomarkers. BioVenic's feline ELISA kits find applications in areas such as inflammation and immunity, endocrinology and hormones, metabolism and nutrition, and biological targets for various feline-related studies (renal disease, oxidative stress, nervous system damage, common cancers). We are committed to providing you with feline ELISA products that offer high specificity, ease of use, and stable results, empowering your feline research endeavors.

Research Areas

Inflammation & Immunity

Inflammation is the cat's body's complex response to injury, infection, or irritation, while the immune system is the defense mechanism that protects cats from pathogens and eliminates abnormal cells (like tumor cells). These two systems are closely linked and are vital for a cat's overall health. BioVenic's product catalog includes a variety of feline inflammatory and immune system-related proteins, such as cytokines, immunoglobulins, acute-phase proteins, and chemokines.

Endocrinology & Hormones

The feline endocrine system regulates various physiological functions in the body by secreting hormones. Understanding feline endocrinology and hormones is crucial. BioVenic's feline ELISA kits can detect numerous feline endocrine and hormone systems, including reproductive and developmental hormones, stress and metabolic hormones, thyroid and calcium metabolism hormones, and pancreatic and blood sugar hormones.

Metabolism & Nutrition

Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning their physiology is best suited to obtain energy from animal fats and proteins. BioVenic’s feline ELISA kits can assay indicators related to feline energy utilization, growth and development, fat and protein metabolism, and body fluid vitamins. Key targets include insulin and insulin-like growth factor, fatty acids, ketone bodies, amino acids, and hormones related to energy metabolism regulation.

Renal Function & Metabolism

Feline kidneys not only filter and remove metabolic waste from the blood but also perform numerous other critical functions. Kidney function and metabolism are fundamental to a cat's survival and health. Once kidney function is impaired, it can trigger systemic problems, severely impacting a cat's quality of life and lifespan. Therefore, early detection of kidney health-related markers is crucial for feline kidney health research.

Oxidative Stress & Cell Damage

Cats can experience oxidative stress under many circumstances, including environmental changes, dietary shifts, noise, and separation anxiety. Oxidative Stress and the resulting Cell Damage are significant drivers in the development of many feline diseases and the aging process. With BioVenic's feline oxidative stress-related ELISA kits, researchers can assess the level of oxidative stress in cats.

Nervous System Damage & Metabolic Markers

Nervous system damage in cats is a serious concern because the nervous system controls virtually all bodily functions, including movement, sensation, behavior, and vital organ activity. BioVenic's feline ELISA kits allow researchers to detect nervous system damage.

Oncology/ Cancer Research

Squamous cell carcinoma, lymphoma, and mammary tumors are among the most common types of cancer in cats. BioVenic's product catalog includes kits for certain feline tumor markers, supporting various feline tumor-related research.

Advantages of BioVenic Feline ELISA kits

• Most of BioVenic's feline ELISA kits provide precise quantitative information about biomarkers, rather than simple "yes" or "no" qualitative results. This is crucial for assessing normal ranges and abnormal levels of target proteins or small molecules in feline research.
• BioVenic's feline ELISA kits are pre-configured, containing all necessary reagents and detailed instructions. Compared to some other complex detection methods, their operational procedures are relatively standardized and easy to learn and master.
• BioVenic's feline ELISAs can be used to detect various types of biomolecules, including proteins (such as cytokines, hormones, enzymes) and antibodies, covering a wide range of feline physiological and pathological processes.
• BioVenic's feline ELISAs typically use samples like blood, urine, or saliva, which are relatively easy to collect and cause minimal trauma to the cat.

Preventing and managing feline health plays a significant role in improving a cat's growth, well-being, energy levels, disease resistance, and overall quality of life. BioVenic's feline ELISA kits offer advantages such as high specificity, high sensitivity, a wide range of detectable sample types, and requiring only a small sample volume per test. These kits hold significant importance for research in various fields, including feline health and disease, nutrition and metabolism, reproduction, and immunity.
