Immunoprecipitation: 1:500

MMP-2 [Gelatinase-A] is constitutively produced in quiescent cells and tissues, and the enzyme has a high specific activity against denatured collagen. The low protein levels produced in cell culture (pg/mL) are often below the threshold of detection by standard Western Blotting. The enzyme can be concentrated from culture media by gelatin-agarose affinity chromatography (Goldberg, 1992) or immunoprecipitation. This can prevent appearance of a spurious band of antibody binding in the vicinity of 68 kDa displayed by some concentrated media.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.
