Yasumitsu, Hidetaro, Miyazaki, Kaoru, Umenishi, Fuminori, Koshikawa, Naohiko, Umeda, Makoto

Two kinds of gelatinases (or type IV collagenases), 90-kDa and 64-kDa gelatinases, were purified in a tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP)- or TIMP-2-free form from the serum-free...

Efficient Purification of TIMP-2 from Culture Medium Conditioned by Human Hepatoma Cell Line, and Its Inhibitory Effects on Metalloproteinases and In Vitro Tumor Invasion (1991)

Umenishi, Fuminori, Umeda, Makoto, Miyazaki, Kaoru

Metalloproteinase inhibitors were surveyed with the culture media of 19 kinds of human tumor cell lines, using transin (rat stromelysin) as the target enzyme. This survey showed that most of the cell...
