Scientific Data Images for Human TIMP-1 Antibody
Detection of Human TIMP‑1 by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of human lung tissue and human prostate tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human TIMP-1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF970) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF017). A specific band was detected for TIMP-1 at approximately 25 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
Detection of Human TIMP‑1 by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of PC-3 human prostate cancer cell line, HT-29 human colon adenocarcinoma cell line, and SK-OV-3 human ovarian adenocarcinoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 5 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human TIMP-1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF970) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF017). A specific band was detected for TIMP-1 at approximately 26 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
TIMP‑1 in Human Colon Cancer Tissue.
TIMP-1 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human colon cancer tissue using Goat Anti-Human TIMP-1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF970) at 1 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Goat IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC004). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # CTS013). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm and extracellular space.

Neutralization
Measured by its ability to neutralize Recombinant Human TIMP-1 (0.1 µg/mL, Catalog # 970-TM) inhibition of Recombinant Human MMP‑2 (0.2 µg/mL, Catalog # 902-MP) cleavage of the fluorogenic peptide substrate Mca‑PLGL-Dpa-AR-NH2 (5 µM, Catalog # ES001). The Neutralization Dose (ND50) is typically 1 µg/mL.

Background: TIMP-1
Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases or TIMPs are a family of proteins that regulate the activation and proteolytic activity of the zinc enzymes known as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). There are four members of the family, TIMP-1, TIMP-2, TIMP-3 and TIMP-4. TIMP-1 is a glycoprotein with a molecular mass of 28 kDa produced by a wide range of cell types. TIMP-1 inhibits active MMP-mediated proteolysis by forming an N-terminal, non-covalent binary complex with the MMP active site. TIMP-1 also associates C-terminally with Pro-MMP-9 in a complex which may play a role in regulating activation. Independent of MMPs, TIMP-1 has been shown to have a role in tissue homeostasis.
