Revvity HTRF Histamine Dynamic Detection Kit, 500 Assay Points

Histamine (1H-imidazole 4-ethaneamine) is a biogenic amine known to play a key role in immediate hypersensitivity and inflammation reactions, as well as in several atopic diseases. As part of an immune response to foreign pathogens, histamine is produced by basophils and by mast cells found in nearby connective tissues. Bacterial decarboxylation of the amino acid histidine in fresh fish produces histamine, which can be used as a health hazard biomarker indicative of bacterial contamination. The histamine kit accurately measures histamine from PBMCs and cell-based formats.
