Human Matrix Metalloproteinase 8 (MMP8) ELISA Kit

MMP8 (neutrophil collagenase, also called collagenase-2) is a zinc-dependent matrix metalloproteinase that preferentially cleaves type I collagen and is widely used as a biomarker of neutrophil-driven inflammation and extracellular matrix remodeling.

The Assay Genie human MMP8 ELISA kit is a quantitative immunoassay supplied as a complete microplate-based package with all necessary reagents included. Researchers studying periodontal disease, rheumatoid arthritis, acute lung injury, cardiovascular remodeling, and tumor invasion rely on MMP8 measurements because neutrophil-derived collagenase activity rises in these inflammatory and tissue-remodeling contexts.

The assay accepts human serum, blood plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, and cell culture supernatants, covering the common sample matrices used in clinical biomarker studies and preclinical in vitro inflammation models. The protocol produces an absorbance-based readout compatible with standard laboratory plate readers, and the kit is shipped with pre-coated wells, recombinant protein standards, detection antibody, and substrate ready for immediate bench setup.

Reagents should be refrigerated upon arrival to preserve antibody activity and standard curve integrity across runs. Applications include biomarker profiling across patient cohorts, comparing MMP8 levels between disease and matched control groups, and time-course monitoring of MMP8 release in cell-based inflammation models.
