Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against human type-IV collagenase were developed and used for studies on enzyme activity and tumor-cell invasion in vitro. Fifteen MAb clones were generated against the enzyme purified from serum-free culture medium of human melanoma cells (A2058). Five clones affecting
Collagenolytic enzymes control cell migration through connective tissues. They appear to be of crucial importance for angiogenesis, tumor metastasis or wound repair. A well-documented stimulation pathway of collagenase secretion, either by natural (cytokines) or synthetic (phorbol esters) molecules,
