Product Summary for Human LIF Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Human LIF Immunoassay is a 3.5 or 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure soluble human LIF in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant human LIF and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to quantitate the recombinant LIF accurately. Results obtained measuring natural human LIF showed dose-response curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human LIF.

Background: LIF

Based on its helical structure, LIF (Leukemia Inhibitory Factor) is considered a member of the Interleukin-6 family of cytokines. Functionally, it has been implicated in a many physiological processes including development, hematopoiesis, bone metabolism, and inflammation. Some cell types known to express LIF include activated T cells, monocytes, astrocytes, osteoblasts, keratinocytes, regenerating skeletal muscle, mast cells, and fibroblasts. The activities of LIF are mediated through a high-affinity heterodimeric receptor complex consisting of two membrane glycoproteins: an alpha subunit (LIF R alpha, also known as LIF R beta and CD118) that binds LIF with low affinity and the 130 kDa (gp130) subunit that does not bind LIF by itself, but is required for high-affinity binding of LIF by the complex.
