Scientific Data Images for Human MMP-2 Antibody

MMP-2 antibody in Human Ovarian Cancer Tissue by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

MMP-2 in Human Ovarian Cancer Tissue.

MMP-2 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human ovarian cancer tissue using Mouse Anti-Human MMP-2 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB902) at 10 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Mouse HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS002) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue).

MMP-2 in Human Ovarian Cancer Tissue.

MMP‑2 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human ovarian cancer tissue using Mouse Anti-Human MMP‑2 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB902) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained (red) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). View our protocol for Chromogenic IHC Staining of Paraffin-embedded Tissue Sections.

Detection of MMP-2 in Human Stomach.

Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections of human stomach were probed for MMP2 mRNA (ACD RNAScope Probe, catalog #311751; Fast Red chromogen, ACD catalog # 322750). Adjacent tissue section was processed for immunohistochemistry using mouse anti-human MMP2 monoclonal antibody (R&D Systems catalog # MAB902) at 5ug/mL with overnight incubation at 4 degrees Celsius followed by incubation with anti-mouse IgG VisUCyte HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC001) and DAB chromogen (yellow-brown). Tissue was counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to fibroblasts.

Background: MMP-2

Matrix metalloproteinases are a family of zinc and calcium dependent endopeptidases with the combined ability to degrade all the components of the extracellular matrix. MMP-2 (gelatinase A), a type IV collagenase, can degrade a broad range of substrates including type IV, V, VII and X collagens as well as elastin and fibronectin. It is believed to act synergistically with interstitial collagenase (MMP-1) in the degradation of fibrillar collagens as it degrades their denatured gelatin forms. MMP-2 has been shown to be associated with many connective tissue cells as well as neutrophils, macrophages and monocytes. Structurally, MMP-2 may be divided into several distinct domains: a pro-domain which is cleaved upon activation; a catalytic domain containing the zinc binding site; a fibronectin-like domain thought to play a role in substrate targeting;and a carboxyl terminal (hemopexin-like) domain containing 2 N-linked glycosylation sites.
