Conjugation ready
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. 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.
Sandwich ELISA
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.

Biological function summary
MIF acts as an upstream regulator of innate immunity and exerts broad influence on cytokine release. MIF elevates pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-alpha and IL-1beta promoting an immune response. It does not typically form part of a complex but interacts with cell surface receptors like CD74 triggering intracellular signaling pathways. These interactions illustrate MIF as a regulator of immune cell recruitment and activation.
Pathways
MIF participates in the glucocorticoid receptor regulatory pathway and MAP kinase pathway. It shows interaction with JNK and ERK1/2 proteins which further map into important cellular reactions like stress response and cell proliferation. By integrating into these pathways MIF influences cell survival proliferation and inflammatory cascades emphasizing its role in immune regulation.
