Assay Principle
This sandwich ELISA quantifies human matrix metalloproteinase-9 (gene MMP9) in cell culture supernatants, serum, plasma (heparin), saliva and urine. Strips are pre-coated with a capture antibody. After the sample is added, a biotinylated detection antibody binds the captured protein, and an avidin–biotin–peroxidase complex supplies the enzyme. TMB develops color in proportion to the bound target; the reaction is stopped and read at 450 nm, and concentrations are read from the standard curve.
MMP-9 (gelatinase B) is a secreted matrix metalloproteinase that degrades type IV and V collagens, gelatin and other matrix proteins. It supports leukocyte migration, tissue remodeling and osteoclast bone resorption, and it is widely measured in studies of inflammation, vascular disease, and tumor invasion.
