General description
Rat cytokines and chemokines are critical signaling molecules that orchestrate immune responses, inflammation, and cellular communication in rodent models, making them essential biomarkers for preclinical research in drug development, toxicology studies, and disease pathogenesis. These small proteins, including interleukins, tumor necrosis factors, interferons, and chemotactic factors, regulate diverse physiological processes from wound healing and infection response to cancer progression and autoimmune disorders.
Application
