General description

Human LIF is a 19.7 kDa protein containing 181 amino acid residues. The non-glycosylated, E. coli expressed, recombinant human LIF is indistinguishable from native LIF in its biological activities in vitro. Human and murine mature LIF exhibit a 78% sequence identity at the amino acid control. Human LIF is equally active on both human and mouse cells. Murine LIF is approximately 1000 fold less active on human cells, than hLIF.
Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) is a lymphoid factor which promotes long-term maintenance of embryonic stem cells by suppressing spontaneous differentiation. LIF has a number of other activities including cholinergic neuron differentiation, control of stem cell pluripotency, bone and fat metabolism, mitogenesis of certain factor dependent cell lines and promotion of megakaryocyte production in vivo.
Product Source: LIF is expressed in E. coli as a fusion protein with GST using the pGEX expression system, cleaved from GST moeity with thrombin and purified by HPLC chromatography.

Application

10 µg, human recombinant LIF protein, expressed in E. coli, suitable for stem cell culture

Unit Definition

Specific Activity: where 50 units is defined as the amount of human LIF required to induce differentiation in 50% of the M1 colonies in 1 mL agar cultures.

Physical form

Liquid in PBS, pH 7.4 and 0.02% Tween 20. No preservativies added.

Storage and Stability

Maintain at 2-8°C for 6 - 12 months. Further dilutions should be made into buffer or medium to which protein (e.g., 1% BSA) or Tween 20 has been added.



Manufactured by CHEMICON International, Inc. LIF is protected under US Patent nos. 5,443,825, 5,750,654 and 6,261,548, European Patent no. 0285 448 and related foreign patents and is not available for resale.

Analysis Note

Specific Activity: The activity of human LIF is determined by the ability to induce differentiation of M1 myeloid leukemic cells.The minimum detectable concentration of human LIF in this assay is 0.5 ng/mL
Tested negative in both aseptic and microplasmic tests.
