Purpose | The ELISA Pair Set is a solid phase sandwich ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay). It utlizes monoclonal antibody specific for MMP-9 / CLG4B coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are added to thewells, and any MMP-9 / CLG4B present binds to the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and a biotinylatedrabbit anti-MMP-9 monoclonal antibody is then added, producing an antibody-antigen-antibody "sandwich". To producescolor in proportion to the amount of MMP-9 / CLG4B present in the sample strepavidin-HRP and TMB substrate solutionare loaded. The absorbances of the microwell are read at 450 nm. |
Sensitivity | The minimum detectable dose of human MMP-9 / CLG4B was determined to be approximately 31.25 pg/mL. This is defined as at least three times standard deviations above the mean optical density of 10 replicates of the zero standard. |

Background | Matrix metalloproteinase-9, also known as 92 kDa type IV collagenase, MMP-9 and CLG4B is a secretedprotein which belongs to the peptidase M10A family. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases that degrade components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and play essentialroles in various physiological processes such as morphogenesis, differentiation, angiogenesis and tissueremodeling, as well as pathological processes including inflammation, arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, pulmonary diseases and tumor invasion. MMP-9 contains three fibronectin type-II domains and fourhemopexin-like domains. It is secreted from neutrophils, macrophages, and a number of transformed cells. Itis the most complex family member in terms of domain structure and regulation of its activity. MMP-9 isinvolved in a variety of autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis, and be regarded as a potential therapeutic target. MMP-9 may play an essential role in local proteolysis of the extracellular matrix and in leukocyte migration. MMP-9 could play a role in bone osteoclastic resorption. It cleaves type IV and type V collagen into large C-terminal three quarter fragments and shorter N-terminal one quarter fragments. MMP-9 also degradesfibronectin but not laminin or Pz-peptide. MMP-9 and MMP-13 catalyze the degradation of extracellularmatrix (ECM) components in the growth plate and at the same time cleave and release biologically activemolecules stored in the ECM, such as VEGFA. In mice, ablation of MMP-9, MMP-13, or both MMP-9 andMMP-13 causes severe distortion of the metaphyseal growth plate. MMP-9 has also been implicated innumerous somatic illnesses, including cardiovascular disorders and cancer. MMP-9 has been shown to beincreasingly important in several aspects of central nervous system activity. Defects in MMP-9 may be acause of susceptibility to intervertebral disc disease (IDD) , also known as lumbar disk herniation (LDH) . IDDis one of the most common musculo-skeletal disorders and the predominant cause of low-back pain andunilateral leg pain. |

Calculation of Results |
Calculate the mean absorbance for each set of duplicate standards, controls and samples. Subtract the mean zero standard absorbance from each. Construct a standard curve by plotting the mean absorbance for each standard on the y-axis against the concentration on the x-axis and draw a best fit curve through the points on the graph. To determine the concentration of the unknowns, find the unknowns' mean absorbance value on the y-axis and draw a horizontal line to the standard curve. At the point of intersection, draw a vertical line to the x-axis and read the concentration. If samples have been diluted, the concentration read from the standard curve must be multiplied by the dilution factor. Alternatively, computer-based curve-fitting statistical software may also be employed to calculate the concentration of the sample. |
