Anti-MMP-8 Antibody

Primary antibody from Antibodies.com targeting matrix metalloproteinase 8 (MMP-8), also known as neutrophil collagenase, a zinc-dependent endopeptidase involved in extracellular matrix remodeling and type I collagen turnover. This rabbit polyclonal reagent is supplied as 100 µl of unconjugated antiserum, allowing flexible pairing with user-selected secondary detection reagents in either Western blot or immunohistochemistry workflows. Validated reactivity across human, mouse, and rat samples makes this antibody useful in comparative studies of inflammation, periodontitis models, rheumatoid arthritis research, and tumor microenvironment analysis where MMP-8 expression is being characterized. The polyclonal format provides recognition of multiple epitopes on the target, which can be advantageous when working with denatured samples in Western blot or fixed tissue sections in IHC. Aliquot upon receipt and store at -20 °C; limit freeze-thaw cycles to preserve antibody activity over extended use.
