Real-time PCR expression profiling of MMPs and TIMPs.
Quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction enables the accurate quantification of gene expression in cultured cells or small tissue samples. In this chapter, we describe the use of Taqman((R)) technology to measure expression of matrix metalloproteinases and related genes.
