Description
The Quantikine Rat Total MMP-9 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure total rat MMP-9 (Pro-, active, and TIMP-complexed MMP-9) in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains NS0-expressed recombinant rat MMP-9 and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant protein. Results obtained using natural rat MMP-9 showed dose-response curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural rat MMP-9
