Scientific Data Images for Human LIF Antibody

LIF antibody in Human Lung by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

LIF in Human Lung.

LIF was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human lung array using Goat Anti-Human LIF Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-250-NA) at 25 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Lower panel shows a lack of labeling if primary antibodies are omitted and tissue is stained only with secondary antibody followed by incubation with detection reagents.

LIF antibody in Human Alzheimer's Brain by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

LIF in Human Alzheimer's Brain.

LIF was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human Alzheimer's brain using Goat Anti-Human LIF Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-250-NA) at 10 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic CTS013). Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to neuronal cytoplasm.

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 (7734-LF) stimulates proliferation in the TF-1 human erythroleukemic cell line in a dose-depend-ent manner (orange line), as measured by Resazurin (AR002). Proliferation elicited by 3 ng/mL Recombinant Human LIF is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Human LIF Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-250-NA). The ND50 is typically 0.04-0.08 µg/mL.

Applications for Human LIF Antibody

Application
Recommended Usage

Immunohistochemistry

5-15 µg/mL
Sample: Immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human lung and human Alzheimer's brain subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # CTS013).

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 0.04-0.08 µg/mL in the presence of 3 ng/mL Recombinant Human LIF.
Please Note: Optimal dilutions of this antibody should be experimentally determined.

Background: LIF

LIF (Leukemia inhibitory factor; also  Differentiation-stimulating factor) is a 22 kDa (predicted) glycoprotein, member of  the leukemia inhibitory factor/interleukin-6 (LIF/IL-6) family of cytokines. Natural LIF is heavily glycosylated, showing an apparent molecular weight of 32 kDa to 62 kDa, it is produced by a variety of cells including T cells, monocytes, fibroblasts, osteoblasts and mast cells. LIF induces hematopoietic differentiation in normal and myeloid leukemia cells, neuronal cell differentiation and stimulation of acute-phase protein synthesis in hepatocytes. Human LIF acts through a receptor comprising a 190 kDa LIF-binding alpha-chain and a 130 kDa signal-transducing beta-chain (gp130), which is shared with the other members of the IL-6 family. Human and mouse LIF exhibit 78% aa sequence identity.
