Used in neuroscience research to quantify levels of Microtubule-associated Protein 2 (MAP-2) in rat tissue samples or cell cultures. This kit is particularly valuable in studies related to neuronal development, neurodegeneration, and brain injury, as MAP-2 is a well-established marker for neuronal dendrites and overall neuronal integrity. Researchers use it to assess neuronal damage in models of stroke, traumatic brain injury, or neurotoxicity. It is also applied in evaluating the effects of potential neuroprotective drugs or therapies by measuring changes in MAP-2 concentration, which correlates with neuronal health and structural stability. The ELISA format allows for sensitive and specific detection, making it suitable for high-throughput analysis in preclinical studies.
