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
The penetration of the subepithelial basement membrane is the first critical step in the dissemination of melanoma. In vitro studies have suggested that the 72 kD type IV collagenase (MMP-2) may be important in melanoma invasion. It has recently been demonstrated that the expression of MMP-2 immunor
