Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are interesting new diagnostic tools in oncology, liver diseases, and rheumatoid arthritis ( 1)( 2)( 3)( 4)( 5). However, the preanalytical issue of their determination in blood was only recently shown ( 6). We have continued our investigations concerning MMP-2, MMP-9, and TIMP-2 because commercial ELISA assays are only now available. We will shortly report the results and present some conclusions.Keywords
