The Potential Role of Matrix Metalloproteinases 8 and 9 and Myeloperoxidase in Predicting Outcomes of Bacterial Meningitis of Childhood

<div>Gelatin zymography analysis of meningitis cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). (a) Lanes 1-3 represent CSF with elevated levels of MMP-9, and lanes 4-6 represent CSF with low levels of MMP-9. (b) Lanes 1 and 2 represent western immunoblot analysis of MMP-9. Mobilities of 92 kDa pro MMP-9 (proMMP-9) and active MMP-9 (actMMP-9) species are indicated on the right.</div>
