2 In zymosan-treated Balb/c mice MMP-9 and its natural inhibitor (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 - TIMP-1) were present in the peritoneal fluid and plasma at the time of peritoneal neutrophil (polymorphonuclear leukocyte - PMN) infiltration and persisted there until the time of monocytes/macrophages influx.
