Abstract
BackgroundHuman matrix metalloproteinase 9 (hMMP9) is a biomarker in several diseases, including cancer, and the need for developing detectors and inhibitors of hMMP9 is increasing. As an antibody against hMMP9 can be selectively bound to hMMP9, the use of anti-MMP9 antibody presents new possibilities to address hMMP9-related diseases. In this study, we aimed to establish a stable Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line for the stable production of antibodies against hMMP9.ResultsWeconstructed recombinant anti-hMMP9 antibody fragment-expressing genes and transfected these to CHO cells. We chose a single clone, and successfully produced a full-sized antibody against hMMP9 with high purity, sensitivity, and reproducibility. Subsequently, we confirmed the antigen-binding efficiency of the antibody.ConclusionsWe developed a novel recombinant anti-hMMP9 antibody via a CHO cell-based mammalian expression system, which has a high potential to be used in a broad range of medical and industrial areas.
