Anti-MMP-9 Antibody, clone GE-213

Control
POSITIVE CONTROL: Cytotrophoblastic columns, the endothelial and fibroblastic stromal cells of villi, and the large decidualized cells of decidual membrane in placenta (Hurskainen et al., 1996). Macrophages in arteries (Nikkari et al., 1996), and fibroblast, endothelial, and tumor cells in breast carcinomas (Soini et al., 1994; Visscher et al., 1994). Conditioned serum-free medium from (dexamethasone-treated) human fibrosarcoma HT-10801 (Nikkari et al., 1996) or endothelial HUVEC4 (Schnaper et al., 1993) cells.

Anti-MMP-9 Antibody, clone GE-213 is an antibody against MMP-9 for use in IP, WB & IH.

MMPs & TIMPs

Western Blotting (non-reducing; Nikkari et al., 1996) (Use Ab at 1μg/mL for 2hrs at RT)

Immunohistochemistry (Acetone-fixed frozen; Hurskainen, 1996): 1:100 for 30 minutes at room temperature

Immunoprecipitation: 2-5 μg/mg protein lysate (use protein G to precipitate immune complex).

Inhibition of MMP-9 Activity: 2-4μg/mL (Visscher, 1994)



Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Under non-reducing conditions, it recognizes proteins of 92 kDa and 86 kDa which are identified as pro (latent) and active forms of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9; also known as 92 kDa and collagenase IV or gelatinase B) of human MMP-9. MAB13415 reacts with the complex (~200 kDa) of MMP-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1; Nikkari et al., 1996). It shows no cross-reaction with pro and active forms of MMP-2 (Nikkari et al., 1996). Clone GE-213 also shows very low reactivity to mouse MMP-9 proteins by western blot, but at high enough antibody and antigen concentrations some detection is possible. Mouse immunhistochemistry is untested. Cellular Localization: Peripheral cytoplasmic.
