Monkey Cystatin C ELISA Kit

Monkey Cystatin C ELISA Kit

The Monkey Cystatin C ELISA Kit is designed to quantitatively measure cystatin C levels in non-human primate serum, plasma, or other biological fluids. Cystatin C is a low-molecular-weight cysteine protease inhibitor produced by all nucleated cells and released into the bloodstream at a relatively constant rate. Because it is freely filtered by the kidneys and not significantly affected by muscle mass, diet, or inflammation, cystatin C is considered a more sensitive biomarker of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) than creatinine. ELISA-based detection allows precise measurement of cystatin C concentrations, making it particularly useful in studies involving kidney function, systemic diseases, or drug toxicity.

In research settings, the Monkey Cystatin C ELISA Kit is valuable for preclinical studies in non-human primates, where kidney health is an important parameter for evaluating safety and efficacy of pharmaceuticals. It is frequently used in toxicology studies, nephrotoxicity assessments, and longitudinal monitoring of renal impairment in disease models. Because non-human primate physiology more closely resembles human physiology than rodents, cystatin C measurements in monkeys provide highly translatable data for drug development and biomarker validation.

In translational and clinical-oriented research, this kit supports the development of improved diagnostics for kidney disease, including early detection of acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). While the kit itself is not intended for human diagnostics, the insights gained from monkey studies help refine cystatin C as a clinically relevant biomarker and guide therapeutic strategies targeting renal function. Overall, the Monkey Cystatin C ELISA Kit serves as a critical tool in bridging preclinical nephrology research with future clinical applications.
