摘要

PCT No. PCT/GB96/02180 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 24, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 24, 1997 PCT Filed Sep. 5, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/09420 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 13, 1997DNA sequences coding for a human metalloproteinase are described together with the corresponding antisense DNA and RNA. The DNA may be used to produce the metalloproteinase which may be used to generate antibodies thereto and to obtain other compounds capable of regulating the action of the metalloproteinase in vivo.
