The Rat Tau (MAPT) ELISA Kit is a highly sensitive and specific assay designed for the quantitative detection of tau protein levels in rat samples such as serum, plasma, and tissue lysates. This kit provides accurate and reproducible results, making it ideal for researchers studying neurodegenerative disorders, particularly Alzheimer's disease. Tau protein is known for its role in stabilizing microtubules in neurons, and abnormal tau aggregation is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies.
Monitoring tau levels in animal models can provide valuable insights into disease progression and potential therapeutic interventions. The Rat Tau (MAPT) ELISA Kit from Assay Genie offers researchers a reliable tool for investigating tau protein levels in rat samples, ultimately advancing our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases and facilitating the development of novel treatment strategies.

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.
Sample Type
Protocol
Serum
Allow blood to clot, centrifuge at 1000 × g for 20 minutes, collect supernatant supernatant and store appropriately.
Plasma
Collect using anticoagulant tubes, centrifuge at 1000 × g for 15 minutes at 2–8°C and collect plasma.
Tissue Homogenate
Homogenize tissue in PBS with protease inhibitors, centrifuge and collect supernatant.
Cell Culture Supernatant
Centrifuge at 2500 rpm for 5 minutes and collect clarified supernatant.
Cell Lysate
Lyse cells using lysis buffer with protease inhibitors, centrifuge and collect protein supernatant.
