Matrix Metallopeptidase 9 (Gelatinase B, 92kDa Gelatinase, 92kDa Type IV Collagenase) (MMP9) antibody

Antigen: Matrix Metallopeptidase 9 (Gelatinase B, 92kDa Gelatinase, 92kDa Type IV Collagenase) (MMP9)

Synonyms: GELB, CLG4B, MMP-9, Clg4b, B/MMP9, AW743869, pro-MMP-9, mmp-9, fgMMP-9, mmp9

Clonality: Polyclonal

Host: Rabbit

Reactivity: Human

Application: Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

Catalog no.: ABIN104012

Additional Information

Alternative name: Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9)

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide from the middle region of human MMP-9.

Format: Ig-fraction, Purified

Specificity: This antibody reacts with a 92 kD pro form and 86 kD active form of MMP-9. MMPs are proteolytic enzymes capable of degrading connective tissue components. MMPs play a crucial role in tumor cell invasion and metastasis. This antibody cross reacts with human and Guinea pig. It does not react with mouse, rat and cow.

Application Details

Application Notes: Titer/Working Dilution: This antibody may be diluted to a titer of 1:25-1:50 in an ABC method. However, depending on the staining conditions employed, we suggest that final dilution should be determined by the user. Staining Protocol: We suggest an incubation period of 30 minutes at room temperature. However, depending upon the fixation conditions and the staining system employed, optimal incubation conditions should be determined by the user. Suitable for formalin/paraffin tissues. Positive Control: Breast carcinoma. Cellular localization: Cytoplasmic

Concentration: 100ug/ml approximately

Buffer: Purified immunoglobulin fraction of rabbit antiserum against human MMP-9 containing sodium azide as preservative.

Storage: Store the antibody at 2-8o c. Do not use it beyond the expiration date stated on the label.

Research Area: Extracellular Matrix

Restrictions: For Research Use. CE-certified for In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) Use in the European Union
