General description
MMPs have a common mode of activation, a conserved amino acid sequence in the putative metal-binding active site region, and are inhibited by specific tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). These MMPs and TIMPs could be expressed by either the cancer or the stromal cells. There is a cooperation between tumor and stromal cells, in particular for the production of 72-kD type IV collagenase, involved in the disruption of basement membranes. A lack of TIMP-1 expression from invasive cancer cells could also contribute to matrix destruction.
Specificity
MAB13431 recognizes proteins of 72kDa and ~66kDa which are identified as pro (latent) and active forms of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2; also known as 72kDa collagenase IV or gelatinase A). CHEMICON MAB-13431 shows no cross-reaction with pro and active forms of other MMPs.

Application
Anti-MMP-2 Antibody, pro & active form, clone A-Gel VC2 is an antibody against MMP-2 for use in ELISA, IH, IH(P).
Immunohistochemistry (Frozen & fixed-paraffin embedded) 2-4 μg/mL 30 min at RT. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues is IMPROVED by boiling tissue sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.
ELISA (not suitable for coating, contains BSA) 1:200-1:2000
Not suitable for Western blotting
Optimal working dilution should be determined by the end user.
