Simple Plex Discovery Rat MMP-9 Assay Summary

Simple Plex Discovery assay is for the detection of rat natural, active, and pro-Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 (total MMP-9) in serum, and platelet-poor plasma (EDTA/Heparin) in Sample Diluent SD09.

*The Sample Volume represented is based on the amount of sample incorporated into the reaction after taking into account the assay's minimum required dilution for a given matrix. Serial dilution may be necessary to achieve some of the final sample volumes represented.

Recovery for Simple Plex Discovery Rat MMP-9 Assay

Recovery was not necessary as rat MMP-9 shows 5 points of natural linearity.

Linearity

Samples containing and/or spiked with high concentrations of rat Total MMP-9 were serially diluted with Sample Diluent to produce samples within the dynamic range of the assay.

Background: MMP-9

MMP-9 (Gelatinase B) is a metalloproteinase that degrades multiple extracellular matrix components including Gelatin, Collagens III, IV, V, and XI, Elastin, Nidogen-1, and Vitronectin. It also cleaves a variety of chemokines and growth factors (e.g. IL-1 beta, CXCL8/IL-8, CXCL7, CXCL4, CXCL1, Latent TGF-beta, membrane bound TNF-alpha, VEGF, and FGF basic), Amyloid beta peptide, Substance P, and Myelin Basic Protein. MMP-9 can trigger signaling through various transmembrane proteins or inhibit signaling by inducing their shedding from the cell surface (e.g. CD44, E-Cadherin, Integrins, ICAM-1, and CD25/IL-2 R alpha). The activity of MMP-9 is regulated by its association with the TIMP-1 protease inhibitor. Circulating levels of MMP-9 are elevated in many inflammatory disorders including intraluminal thrombus formation, atherosclerosis, Crohn’s disease, hepatitis C virus infection, colorectal cancer, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
