Anti-LIF

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. LIF is a pleiotropic cytokine produced at the maternal-fetal interface which has been shown to play an essential role in implantation in mice. It is produced in high amounts by the human endometrium and the trophoblast itself, and its receptors are present on cytotrophoblast cells. LIF could thus play a role in modulating HLA-G production and immune tolerance at the maternal-fetal interface. The gene maps to 22q11-q12.2, between the Philadelphia translocation BCR gene and the breakpoint of the translocation in cell line GM2324 at 22q12.2. Protein function: 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.
