Figure 2

MMP activity is increased in focal cerebral ischemia. (A) Representative zymogram showing changes in MMP activity in the ischemic (I) and non-ischemic (N) hemispheres. (B) Densitometric analysis of lytic bands indicates increases in MMP-2 and MMP-9 activity in ischemic hemispheres from control and PMN-depleted animals. Anti-PMN antibody treatment has no affect on MMP activity. (*p < 0.05 vs contralateral hemisphere, control n = 6, PMN n = 4).
