Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9), also known as gelatinase B or 92 kDa type IV collagenase, plays a central role in extracellular matrix remodeling through its ability to degrade type IV and V collagens, gelatin, and other basement membrane components. This enzymatic activity positions MMP9 as a critical mediator in processes ranging from tissue invasion and metastasis to cardiovascular remodeling and inflammatory responses, making it an essential target for researchers investigating tumor progression, angiogenesis, and immune cell migration.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody (clone 9B2) offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding experimental workflows require. Because the antibody sequence is defined and produced recombinantly, researchers can expect reliable performance across experiments and over time, eliminating the lot-to-lot variability that can complicate long-term studies or multi-site collaborations. The human IgG1 format and affinity-chromatography purification ensure high specificity for human MMP9.
Validation in immunohistochemistry demonstrates robust performance in paraffin-embedded human tonsil tissue, where the antibody was tested at 1:150 dilution using citrate buffer antigen retrieval and detected via HRP-conjugated secondary antibody with DAB visualization. This established protocol provides researchers with a reliable starting point for their own tissue studies, with recommended working dilutions ranging from 1:50 to 1:200 to accommodate different sample types and detection systems. The antibody is also suitable for ELISA applications.
Whether investigating MMP9 expression in cancer microenvironments, examining its role in cardiovascular pathology, or exploring signal transduction pathways involving matrix remodeling, this antibody provides a dependable tool for advancing your research into this multifunctional protease.
