Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.
This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.
Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.
This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.
Our Low endotoxin, azide-free formats have low endotoxin level (1 EU/mg, determined by the TAL assay) and are free from azide, to achieve consistent experimental results in functional assays.
MMP-8 participates in the degradation of collagen types I II and III contributing to extracellular matrix remodeling. It acts independently rather than being part of a larger enzyme complex. Its activity is tightly regulated by tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) to prevent excessive tissue damage. By modulating the extracellular matrix MMP-8 influences processes like wound healing cell migration and angiogenesis indicating its essential role in maintaining tissue homeostasis.
Matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) also known as neutrophil collagenase is an enzyme with a molecular weight of approximately 57 kDa. It belongs to the matrix metalloproteinase family which is involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix components. MMP-8 mainly expresses in neutrophils but can also be found in other tissues such as the skin lungs and liver. The expression of MMP-8 increases during inflammation and infection where it plays a critical role in tissue remodeling and repair processes.
MMP-8 plays a role in the inflammatory response and wound healing pathways. It interacts with and processes other proteins like pro-inflammatory cytokines and growth factors which are important for regulating these pathways. MMP-8 collaborates with matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in the inflammatory pathway to facilitate leukocyte migration and rapid tissue remodeling during acute inflammatory responses. Its regulation involves complex interactions among proteolytic enzymes emphasizing its function in balancing matrix degradation and formation.
MMP-8 is associated with periodontal disease and rheumatoid arthritis. In periodontal disease elevated MMP-8 levels can lead to breakdown of connective tissue and bone contributing to tooth loss. In rheumatoid arthritis MMP-8 alongside MMP-1 degrades joint cartilage collagen exacerbating the inflammation and joint damage. These associations underline MMP-8's potential as a biomarker for these diseases and highlight the need for MMP-8 testing tools such as MMP8 ELISA kits to monitor disease progression and treatment efficacy.
