Description: This antibody has been selected for its ability to recognize rmMMP-9 in direct ELISAs and western blots in which this antibody shows approximately 10% cross reactivity with rhMMP-9 and less than 2% cross reactivity with rhMMP-1, -2, -3, -7, -8, -10, -12 and -13. This antibody is suitable for immunohistochemistry.
