Bovine (Cow) Haptoglobin ELISA Kit

Haptoglobin is an acute-phase glycoprotein predominantly synthesized in the liver of cattle and other mammals. Its primary biological role is to bind free hemoglobin released from erythrocytes, forming a stable Hp–hemoglobin complex that prevents iron loss and oxidative tissue damage. In healthy bovines, serum haptoglobin levels are typically very low or undetectable, but they rise sharply in response to infection, inflammation, or tissue injury. This rapid upregulation makes haptoglobin a sensitive biomarker for assessing the acute phase response (APR) and overall health status in cattle.
The Bovine Haptoglobin ELISA Kit is a quantitative immunoassay designed to measure haptoglobin concentrations in serum, plasma, or other biological fluids. In research settings, it is widely used to monitor immune responses, evaluate stress and inflammation levels, and study disease pathogenesis—particularly in bovine respiratory disease, mastitis, metritis, and parasitic infections. In veterinary diagnostics or herd management, the kit can serve as an objective tool to detect subclinical infections or assess animal welfare and productivity by identifying inflammatory conditions early. Overall, the assay provides a robust and sensitive method for investigating both physiological and pathological processes associated with the bovine immune response.
