Anti-Human MMP-9 - 25 µg

Quality Tested by Leinco Western Blotting: To detect Human MMP-9 this polyclonal antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1 µg/ml. This polyclonal antibody should be used in conjunction with compatible second-step reagents such as PN:G505 and a chromogenic substrate such as PN:T343. The detection limit for Human MMP-9 is 5 ng/lane under either reducing or non-reducing conditions. The sensitivity of detection may increase up to 50 fold when a chemiluminescent substrate is used.

Matrix metallopeptidase 9, also known as MMP9, is a biological enzyme that is a member of the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). MMP9 is thought to play a critical role in tumor cell invasion, 1 breakdown of extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remodeling, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis and metastasis. MMP-9 is secreted from cells and, once activated, is thought to degrade collagen in the extracellular matrix.2 MMP-9 is one of the major proteases produced by osteoclasts and possibly plays a role in osteoclastic bone resorption.3

Immunocytochemistry: This antibody can be used at concentration of 5-15 µg/mL.
Immunoprecipitation: Suitable for use at concentration of 25 µg/mL.
Immunohistochemistry: Suitable for use at concentration of5-15 µg/mL.

Goat Anti-Human Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) recognizes Human MMP-9. This antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody was purified using a proprietary chromatographic technique that includes covalently immobilizing the antigen proteins or peptides to agarose based beads. This purification method enhances specificity, reduces nonspecific binding of extraneous IgG and provides you with the most reliable reagent available for your early discovery research.

This antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody has been 0.2 µm filtered and lyophilized from modified Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline (1X PBS) pH 7.2 – 7.4 containing 5.0% w/v trehalose with no calcium, magnesium, or preservatives present.

Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change.
