Description
Catalogue Number	LIF2005
Brand Family	Chemicon®
Trade Name	Chemicon
Description	Leukemia Inhibitory Factor from mouse
Overview	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. Mouse LIF is a 22 kDa protein containing 203 amino acid residues.

Applications
Application	5 µg, mouse recombinant LIF protein, expressed in E. coli, suitable for stem cell culture
Key Applications	Stem Cell Culture Cell Culture
Application Notes	RECOMMENDED QC PROTOCOL M1 Bioassay 1. The M1 bioassay is performed using in vitro semi-solid agar cultures, which contain approximately 100 cells in 1 mL volumes of DME containing 20 % FCS in 0.3% agar. 2. Add 100 μL of sample or mLIF (10(E4) units/mL in 5% FCS in isotonic saline) in two-fold serial dilutions in duplicate to 35 mm petri dishes. 3. Add 100 μL of 5% FCS in isotonic saline to two control slides. 4. Incubate at 37°C in fully humidified atmosphere of 10% CO2 in air for 7 days. 5. Score the number of colonies that show differentiation (note: 50 units is defined as the amount of activity which results in 50% of the colonies being differentiated).

Biological Information
Concentration	10 μg/mL
Purity	Greater than 95% by analytical HPLC and SDS-PAGE. Endotoxin level is less than 0.1 ng per mg of LIF. Tested negative in both aseptic and microplasmic tests.
Source	mLIF 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.
Specific Activity	The activity of mouse LIF is determined by the ability to induce differentiation of murine M1 myeloid leukemic cells. The minimum detectable concentration of mouse LIF in this assay is 0.5 ng/mL. The specific activity is >=1 x 10(E8) units/mg, where 50 units is defined as the amount of mouse LIF required to induce differentiation in 50% of the M1 colonies in 1 mL agar cultures.
Entrez Gene Number	NM_008501
Entrez Gene Summary	Leukaemia inhibitory factor is a cytokine that induces macrophage differentiation. Neurotransmitters and neuropeptides, well known for their role in the communication between neurons, are also capable of activating monocytes and macrophages and inducing chemotaxis in immune cells. LIF signals through different receptors and transcription factors. LIF in conjunction with BMP2 acts in synergy on primary fetal neural progenitor cells to induce astrocytes.
Gene Symbol	LIF Emfilermin CDF MLPLI HILDA D-FACTOR
UniProt Number	P09056
UniProt Summary	FUNCTION: SwissProt: P09056.1 # LIF has the capacity to induce terminal differentiation in leukemic cells. Its activities include the induction of hematopoietic differentiation in normal and myeloid leukemia cells, the induction of neuronal cell differentiation, and the stimulation of acute-phase protein synthesis in hepatocytes. SIZE: 203 amino acids; 22,287 Da SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted. SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P09056.1 ## Belongs to the LIF/OSM family.
