Measurement of the noncomplexed free fraction of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 in plasma by immunoassay.
BACKGROUND: We previously found differences in total concentrations of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 (TIMP-1) in plasma from donors and cancer patients. Because TIMP-1 can exist in more than one molecular form, a new immunoassay to specifically detect free TIMP-1 was developed and concen...
