- Summary
- This invention is a method for the identification of MMP enzyme activity in tissue. MMPs are involved in tumor progression and therefore are targets for anti-cancer drug therapies. However, most drug therapies directed at inhibition of MMPs have failed, in part, because there is no reliable biomarker to determine MMP activity in tissue. This invention provides a reliable diagnostic tool to monitor MMP activity for clinical trials of MMP inhibitors.
