Human MMP-9 ELISA Kit

MMP 9; MMP-9; MMP9; Matrix Metalloproteinase 9; GELB; Type V collagenase; Matrix metallopeptidase 9 (gelatinase B, 92kDa gelatinase, 92kDa type IV collagenase)

Human MMP-9 ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate MMP-9 in samples. An antibody specific for MMP-9 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any MMP-9 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for MMP-9 is added to the wells. After washing, proprietary Streptavidin-HRP conjugates is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound streptavidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of MMP-9 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
