Tracking Inflammation Through Biomarkers with Arbor Assays
If you’re tracking inflammation in animal models or human samples, you’re already familiar with some of the most essential markers: cytokines, chemokines, acute-phase proteins. They’re essential for understanding immune responses, drug effects, and disease progression across nearly every research field, from rheumatoid arthritis to sepsis, and neurodegeneration to cardiovascular disease.
That’s why Arbor Assays develops robust inflammation kits with reliably reproducible results – trusted by scientists who need accurate results under real-world conditions.
Why Inflammation Biomarkers Matter
Inflammation isn’t just a byproduct; it’s a signaling mechanism. Biomarkers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) help quantify systemic inflammation, while molecules like TNF-α, ST2, and myeloperoxidase (MPO) offer insight into cellular immune activity, tissue remodeling, and disease progression.
Whether you’re studying acute-phase responses or low-grade chronic inflammation, reliable quantification is essential. Biomarkers help validate models, assess treatment responses, and generate data that withstands peer review.
What You Can Measure (and Why It’s Useful)
We offer a focused lineup of inflammation-related assays designed with academic research in mind:
- Human CRP – Tracks systemic inflammation in cardiovascular and infectious disease
- Mouse TNF‑Alpha – Widely used in autoimmunity and arthritis models
- Human ST2 – Biomarker of cardiovascular stress and chronic inflammatory conditions
- Human MPO – Tracks neutrophil activation, oxidative stress, and inflammation
- Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) – Key inflammatory lipid mediator involved in pain, fever, and immune response
- Thromboxane B2 (TXB2) – Indicates platelet activation and inflammation-related vascular changes
Each assay is optimized for common sample types like serum, plasma, saliva, and culture media. If you’re running studies across species or shifting sample matrices, flexibility matters.
Made by Scientists Who Know the Bench
Our assay kits are designed, built, and tested in Ann Arbor, Michigan by scientists who’ve worked through dissertation deadlines, applied for grants, and trained the next generation of researchers. We understand what reproducibility looks like, especially when the timelines and wallets are tight.
Expect:
- Reliable assays and reproducible data
- Pre-coated ELISA plates and clear protocols
- Kits that are often cited in current literature
Real Data for Real Research
Here are just a few ways we’ve seen our kits used:
- PGE₂ Multi-Format ELISA Kit – Studying seizure-induced brain inflammation in mouse models.
- 2′,3′-cGAMP ELISA Kit – Tracking STING-related immune evasion pathways in breast cancer research.
- Hydrogen Peroxide Colorimetric Detection Kit – Measuring oxidative stress in coronary artery disease patients.
If your lab is tracking inflammation, planning a grant, or ready to find kits to help generate data reviewers can trust and collaborators can build on, Arbor Assays has you covered.
