Used in biomedical research to quantify mouse mucin 2 (MUC-2) levels in biological samples such as intestinal tissue homogenates, fecal extracts, or cell culture supernatants. This ELISA kit is particularly valuable in studies related to gut barrier function, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), colitis, and host-microbe interactions in the gastrointestinal tract. Researchers use it to assess changes in MUC-2 production under different experimental conditions, including infection, diet, probiotic treatment, or genetic modification. The assay helps evaluate the integrity and function of the mucus layer in mouse models, providing insights into mucosal immunity and disease mechanisms.
