Function:
MMP9 degrades type IV and V collagens and is involved inproteolysis of the extracellular matrix. Produced by granulocytes and macrophages. MMP9 is involved with tissue destruction in a cancer invasion and metastasis, rheumatoid arthiritis, fibrotic lung disease and cardiomyopathy.
Applications: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Western Blotting (WB).
Working Dilution for Immunofluorescence (ICC): 5 – 15 µg/mL
Working Dilution for Immunohistochemistry (IHC): 5 – 10 µg/mL
Working Dilution for Western Blottin (WB): 1 µg/mL
IHC Positive control: embryos, tumors of different origin
Specificity: Confirmed by WB.
Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat
Reconstitution: Reconstitute in 0.05 mL of PBS (pH 7.4) to achieve an antibody concentration of 1000 µg/mL. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material.
Storage / Stability: At least 12 months after purchase at 2 - 4°C. After reconstitution, aliquot and store at -20°C for a higher stability and at 4°C with an appropriate antibacterial agent. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
