Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) is involved in several aspects of the pathology of cancer, including invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis. In this study, we expressed a recombinant scFv-type anti-MMP9 antibody in soluble form using Escherichia coli, purified it, and confirmed its antigen-binding ability. The convenient, rapid, inexpressive system used in this study for producing recombinant antibody fragments needs only five days, and thus can be used for the efficient production of scFv against MMP9, which can be used in a range of applications and industrial fields, including diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory and cancer-related diseases.

D004926	Escherichia coli	A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc.	Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
