Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

Activity summary

Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) also known as LIF protein plays a critical mechanical role in cell communication and survival. It is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight (LIF MW) generally around 19 kilodaltons. In various tissues particularly in the mouse LIF expression occurs in the bone marrow muscle and notably the nervous system. Besides its presence in normal tissues it shows up in embryonic stem cells where it maintains their pluripotency in culture conditions.

Biological function summary

LIF influences cell differentiation growth and inflammatory response. As part of the interleukin-6 cytokine family LIF exerts its effects through a receptor complex involving LIFR (LIF receptor) and GP130. The LIF protein's signaling controls processes like neuronal cell differentiation and bone formation. It impacts hematopoietic cells and supports embryonic implantation and placental development by preparing the uterine environment.

Pathways

The LIF protein is essential in the JAK/STAT signaling pathway which regulates gene expression vital for survival and proliferation. It also interacts with the MAPK/ERK pathway ensuring diverse cellular responses. These pathways link LIF to related proteins like STAT3 and ERK1/2 which mediate further downstream effects. The interplay between these signaling cascades highlights LIF's role in managing cell survival and proliferation in various contexts.

Associated diseases and disorders

LIF contributes to physiological and pathological states. In cancer such as leukemia LIF influences tumor growth and cancer cell survival. The interaction with other cytokines like Interleukin-6 enhances its effect in oncogenic processes. In inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis LIF's role relates to inflammation and joint destruction. Understanding its interaction with inflammatory mediators can aid in targeted therapeutic strategies.
