What does a rabbit monoclonal antibody mean in research applications?
A rabbit monoclonal antibody is produced by fusing B-cells from an immunized rabbit with a specialized myeloma cell line. In research, these antibodies are prized for their high affinity and exceptional specificity. Rabbits possess a unique immune system that generates a more diverse range of antibodies than mice, often resulting in better recognition of small epitopes or subtle post-translational modifications, making them ideal for sensitive assays.
What biological processes is MMP-9 commonly used as a marker for?
MMP-9 (Matrix Metalloproteinase-9) serves as a key marker for extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, tissue repair, and inflammation. It is an enzyme responsible for degrading components like gelatin and collagen. Elevated MMP-9 levels are frequently associated with physiological processes such as wound healing and bone resorption, as well as pathological states including tumor invasion, angiogenesis, and various cardiovascular diseases, where the structural integrity of tissues is being altered.
How is a rabbit monoclonal antibody different from a mouse monoclonal antibody?
The primary difference lies in the host species and the resulting antibody characteristics. Rabbit antibodies generally offer higher affinity and recognize a wider variety of epitopes compared to mouse monoclonals. Additionally, because rabbits are evolutionarily distant from humans and mice, they can produce antibodies against antigens that might be poorly immunogenic in rodents. AAA Biotech offers rabbit monoclonals to provide researchers with higher sensitivity and lower background noise in complex assays.
What are the main types of monoclonal antibodies used in laboratories?
Laboratories primarily use mouse and rabbit monoclonal antibodies, though rat and hamster versions are also available. These are categorized by their isotype, with IgG being the most common for research applications like Western blotting and IHC. Modern labs also utilize recombinant monoclonal antibodies, which are produced in vitro using defined genetic sequences. This ensures high batch-to-batch consistency and eliminates the variability often associated with traditional hybridoma-based production methods.
Why is MMP-9 studied in cancer, inflammation, or tissue remodeling research?
MMP-9 is studied in these fields because of its ability to break down the basement membrane and extracellular matrix. In cancer, this degradation facilitates tumor cell migration and metastasis. In inflammatory diseases, MMP-9 aids the movement of white blood cells to injury sites. Understanding MMP-9 activity helps researchers at AAA Biotech and global institutions develop strategies to control excessive tissue breakdown, which is a hallmark of chronic inflammation and invasive cancers.
Can a rabbit MMP9 monoclonal antibody be used for Western blot or IHC?
Yes, this rabbit monoclonal antibody is highly versatile and validated for both Western blot (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC). For WB, it provides a sensitive method to quantify MMP-9 protein levels in secreted fluids or cell lysates. In IHC, it enables the precise localization of the enzyme within tissue sections, helping researchers identify which specific cells are producing MMP-9 during inflammation or tumor growth, ensuring reliable data across different experimental platforms.
