Sample
serum, plasma, other biological fluids
Detection Method
Sandwich ELISA
Intended Use
This assay is a sandwich Enzyme Linked-Immuno-Sorbent Assay (ELISA). It is developed for quantitative measurement of rat MMP-9 in serum, plasma and other biological fluids.

Doxycycline impacts hernia repair outcomes

Applications: ELISA
Reactive species: Rat
"Abstract: Background:Incisional hernias occur commonly in up to 20% of all abdominal operations. Incisional hernia formation has been associated with increased levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), reduced collagen 1, and increased collagen 3 expression. Doxycycline, a nonspecific inhibitor of MMPs, has been shown to beneficially reduce MMP levels in both cancer and aneurysm models. This study evaluates the impact of doxycycline upon MMP expression, collagen subtypes, and hernia repair distraction forces in an animal model of incisional hernia repair."
Article snippet: MMP-2 and MMP-9 ELISA kits were purchased from Creative Diagnostics (New York, NY).
Figure 1. ELISA was performed on 4-wk animal serum samples from control (n=3) and doxycycline treated (n=3) animals for MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities and values are expressed as ng/mL.
