Product Summary for Human Total MMP-8 Quantikine ELISA Kit
The Quantikine Human Total MMP-8 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure total MMP-8 (pro- and active MMP-8) in cell culture supernates, serum, plasma, and saliva. It contains NS0-expressed recombinant human MMP-8 and antibodies raised against the recombinant protein. Natural human MMP-8 showed dose-response curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant Quantikine kit standards indicating that this kit can be used to determine relative levels of natural human MMP-8.

Recovery for Human Total MMP-8 Quantikine ELISA Kit
The recovery of MMP-8 spiked to levels throughout the range of the assay in various matrices was evaluated.
| Sample Type | Average % Recovery | Range % |
|---|---|---|
| Cell Culture Media (n=8) | 95 | 86-112 |
| Heparin Plasma (n=5) | 102 | 90-114 |
| Serum (n=5) | 97 | 88-105 |
Linearity
To assess the linearity of the assay, samples containing high concentrations of MMP-8 were serially diluted with Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.

Background: MMP-8
The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) consist of 24 known human zinc proteases with essential roles in breaking down components of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Additional MMP substrates include cytokines, chemokines, growth factors and binding proteins, cell/cell adhesion molecules, and other proteinases. With a few exceptions, MMPs share common structural motifs including a pro-peptide domain, a catalytic domain, a hinge region, and a hemopexin-like domain. Synthesized as pro-enzymes, most MMPs are secreted before conversion to their active form. MMP activities are modulated on several levels including transcription, pro-enzyme activation, or by their endogenous inhibitors, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). A subset of MMPs are associated with membranes and designated as membrane-type metalloproteinases (MT-MMP).
