Figure 5From: Synthetic emmprin peptides with chitobiose substitution stimulate MMP-2 production by fibroblasts Effects of the control ECI peptide and the chitobiose unit on MMP-2 production by fibroblasts. The fibroblasts were cultured in the presence of synthetic ECI alone, Asn-(GlcNAc)2, and ECI-(GlcNAc)2 for 3 days, and the conditioned media were subjected to western blotting for MMP-2. Control, solvent control for Asn-(GlcNAc)2, ECI alone, and ECI-(GlcNAc)2.Back to article page
