Milliplex map mmp magnetic bead panels

Manufactured by Merck Group

MILLIPLEX MAP MMP Magnetic Bead Panels are a multiplex assay system designed for the quantitative measurement of multiple analytes in a single sample. The panels utilize Luminex xMAP technology with magnetic beads to enable simultaneous detection and quantification of various matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) or tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in biological samples.

MMP and cathepsin gene expression was performed by quantitative PCR (qPCR) using validated Taqman probes (Life Technologies/Applied Biosystems, Carlsbad, CA). All qPCR results are represented as relative quantification (RQ) compared to the mock treated animals and corrected to actin levels. Several MMP levels were measured in BALF and cell culture supernatants using a bead assay (MILLIPLEX MAP MMP Magnetic Bead Panels, EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA) with the BioRad Bio-Plex 200 system (BioRad, Hercules, CA). Cathepsin tissue levels were determined by immunoblots and BALF cathepsin S and B activity assays as previously described46 (link). Cathepsin G BALF activity was determined by a commercial available colorimetric assay (Abcam; ab126780). BALF collagenase activity was determined by a colorimetric ninhydrin method, as previously described22 (link). Proteinase activity was also assessed with the same colorimetric ninhydrin method but utilizing casein as the substrate. BALF elastase activity was measured by the hydrolysis of N-succinyl-L-Ala-L-Ala-L-Ala-p-nitroanilide(Suc Ala3NA) per minute at 25°C and pH 8.0. BALF gelatinase activity was determined by gelatin zymography.

MMP9 (EMD MILLIPLEX MAP MMP Magnetic Bead Panels, EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA) and cytokines (IL-13, RANTES, CXCL2, TNF-α, MCP-1, IL-1β, IL-17, IL-10, CXCL1, G-CSF, IL-6 and human IL-8; Bio-Rad Cytokines Magnetic Bead Panels) were measured in BALF and cell culture supernatants using a bead assay (MILLIPLEX MAP MMP Magnetic Bead Panels, EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA) with the Bio-Rad Bio-Plex 200 system (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) or with commercially available ELISAs (CXCL5 and SCF; R&D Systems). BALF gelatinase activity was determined by gelatin zymography [13 (link)]. Densitometry was performed on MMP9 positive bands and represented densitometry units (DU) measured by pixel intensity of bands, using Bio-Rad Laboratories Image Lab software (version 4.0, build 16).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
