IHC analysis of MMP8 using anti-MMP8 antibody (PB9726).
MMP8 was detected in paraffin-embedded section of Human Appendicitis Tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1μg/ml rabbit anti-MMP8 Antibody (PB9726) overnight at 4°C. Biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex (SABC)(Catalog # SA1022) with DAB as the chromogen.

Background of MMP8
MMP8 (Matrix metalloproteinase 8) is a member of the family of matrix metalloproteinases. It is distinct from the collagenase of skin fibroblasts and synovial cells in substrate specificity and immunologic crossreactivity. MMP8 is mapped to 11q21-q22. MMP8 is an enzyme that degrades fibrillar collagens imparting strength to the fetal membranes, is expressed by leukocytes and chorionic cytotrophoblast cells. The enzyme exhibits 58% homology to human fibroblast collagenase and has the same domain structure. It consists of a 20-residue signal peptide, and an 80-residue propeptide that is lost on autolytic activation by cleavage of an M-L bond. MMP8 was found to possess 57% identity with the deduced protein sequence for fibroblast collagenase with 72% chemical similarity. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have fundamental roles in tumor progression, but most clinical trials with MMP inhibitors have not shown improvements in individuals with cancer. MMP8 has a paradoxical protective role in cancer and provides a genetic model to evaluate the molecular basis of gender differences in cancer susceptibility.

Antibody Homology Across Species
The results generated by this homology analysis tool for commonly used animal species are shown below. For unlisted species, please refer to the homology analysis between the immunogen sequence and the corresponding species.
A homology of ≥90% is recommended. Generally, higher homology indicates a greater potential for cross-species reactivity. However, protein expression levels may vary among different species, tissues, and cell types. Therefore, the homology analysis results are for reference only and do not guarantee antibody cross-reactivity or experimental performance.
