Antibodies
Rabbit polyclonal antibody to MMP9 | |
---|---|
Immunohistochemical detection of MMP9 in formalin fixed human prostate cancer. 15 μm paraffin-embedded tissue sections were incubated with rabbit polyclonal antibody to MMP9 at 10 μg/mL overnight at 4°C followed by HRP/AEC detection (red) and counterstaining with hematoxylin (blue). | |
