General description
Purified mouse monoclonal antibody (see application references). Recognizes the ~59/57 kDa latent and the ~45/28 kDa active forms of MMP-3 and MMP-3/TIMP complexes (see application references).
Recognizes the ~57/59 kDa latent and the ~28/45 kDa active forms of MMP-3. Will also recognize MMP-3/TIMP-1 complexes. Slightly cross-reacts (~34%) with human MMP-10.
This Anti-MMP-3 (Ab-1) Mouse mAb (55-2A4) is validated for use in Frozen Sections, Immunoblotting, Paraffin Sections for the detection of MMP-3 (Ab-1).
Immunogen
Human
human pro-MMP-3 from the conditioned media of rheumatoid synovial fibroblasts

This antibody has 34% cross-reactivity with human MMP-10. For paraffin sections, staining can be enhanced by culturing tissue in 2 µM monensin for 3 h. Pre-treating with trypsin or a pressure cooker may enhance staining. Tissue can then be fixed with PLP (perioddate-lysine-4% paraformaldehyde) and stained using 5-10 µg/ml MMP-3 antibody. See application references for more information. Clone 55-2A4 is called Clone B in Obata, K., et al. To prepare conditioned medium for positive control, incubate HT-1080 cells for 2 h at 37°C in serum-free media containing 100 nM PMA. Collect and centrifuge medium; concentrate as necessary. Store in aliquots at -20°C. Antibody should be titrated for optimal results in individual systems.

Ormeloxifene is a clinically approved selective estrogen receptor modulator, which has also shown excellent anticancer activity, thus it can be an ideal repurposing pharmacophore. Herein, we report therapeutic effects of ormeloxifene on prostate cancer and elucidate a novel molecular mechanism
