Mouse Anti-Human MMP9 Clone 2C3 mAb

Antibodies

This monoclonal antibody binds to human MMP-9. Reactivity in other species has not been determined. The 12-mer peptide used for the immunization differs on 4 or 5 amino acids with the sequence of MMP-9 of rat, mouse, and rabbit. Therefore it is not expected to be effective in these species as well. The antibody was tested for cross-reactivity with MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-3 and did not cross-react. The 2C3 monoclonal antibody was generated from mice immunized with a 12 mer-peptide derived from the sequence of human MMP-9. The amino acid sequence of this peptide was: KLGLGADVAQVT
