Scientific Data Images for Human LIF Antibody

Cell Proliferation Induced by LIF and Neutralization by Human LIF Antibody.

Cell Proliferation Induced by LIF and Neutralization by Human LIF Antibody.

Recombinant Human LIF stimulates proliferation in the TF‑1 human erythroleukemic cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Proliferation elicited by 1.5 ng/mL Recombinant Human LIF is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Mouse Anti-Human LIF Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB250). The ND50 is typically 0.06-0.2 µg/mL.
Detection of Human LIF by Western Blot

Detection of Human LIF by Western Blot

Autocrine IL-6 activates STAT3 signalling in lung cancer cell-induced epidural ADSCs. a Epidural ADSCs were pre-treated with CM from lung cancer cells for 48 h, and pSTAT3 and STAT3 expression levels were detected by western blotting. Epidural ADSCs cultured in untreated medium served as a control. b The effects of lung cancer cell CM on epidural ADSC proliferation were evaluated using the CCK-8 assay. Epidural ADSCs were treated with CM from one of four lung cancer cell lines, and the optical density of both groups at 450 nm was analysed. Data from three separate experiments are shown. c Western blot analysis of pSTAT3 and STAT3 in epidural ADSCs treated with either 10 ng/mL recombinant IL-6, 10 ng/mL recombinant IL-11 or 50 ng/mL recombinant LIF in the presence or absence of either neutralizing antibodies or isotype controls. Loading control, actin. d Western blot analysis of pSTAT3 and alpha-SMA expression in epidural ADSCs treated with lung cancer cell CM in the presence or absence of neutralizing antibodies against IL-6, IL-11 or LIF. Loading control, actin. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001 Image collected and cropped by CiteAb from the following publication (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31196220), licensed under a CC-BY license.

Applications for Human LIF Antibody

Application
Recommended Usage

Immunohistochemistry

8-25 µg/mL
Sample: Immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human lung

Neutralization

Measured by its ability to neutralize LIF-induced proliferation in the TF‑1 human erythroleukemic cell line. Kitamura, T. et al. (1989) J. Cell Physiol. 140:323. The Neutralization Dose (ND50) is typically 0.06-0.2 µg/mL in the presence of 1.5 ng/mL Recombinant Human LIF. Human LIF Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-250-NA) is recommended for neutralization.

Background: LIF

LIF is a 36‑67 kDa highly glycosylated polypeptide (1, 2) produced by a variety of cells including T cells (3), monocytes (4), fibroblasts (5), osteoblasts (6) and mast cells (7). Consistent with its many synonyms, LIF exhibits a broad spectrum of effects on both hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic cells. For example, LIF inhibits the differentiation of embryonic stem cells (8), up regulates the synthesis of acute phase proteins in hepatocytes (9), down regulates lipoprotein lipase activity in adipocytes (10), and preferentially induces a cholinergic phenotype in sympathetic neurons (11). The receptor for LIF (LIF R) has been isolated and found to be a 190 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein (12). Although this molecule binds LIF, the resultant LIF-LIF R complex is not sufficient to transduce an intracellular signal. This capability is provided by a 130 kDa signal transducing subunit (gp130) that is common to the functional receptors for IL-6, IL-11, CNTF, and Oncostatin M (13, 14). Since gp130 is a ubiquitously expressed membrane protein, the presence of LIF R (membrane-bound or soluble form) ultimately determines the cell’s responsiveness to LIF. Cells known to express LIF R include osteoblasts (6), hepatocytes (15), macrophages (15), neurons (5), and megakaryocytes (16). Human and mouse LIF exhibit 78% sequence homology, and human LIF is biologically active on mouse cells (17).
