Product Overview
Tag | N/A |
Host Species | Human |
Synonym | Phenylpyruvate tautomerase, Glycosylation-inhibiting factor, GIF, MMIF, MIF. |
Background | The cytokine Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) has been identified to be secreted by the pituitary gland and the monocyte/macrophage and to play an important role in endotoxic shock. MIF has the unique property of being released from macrophages and T cells in response to physiological concentrations of glucocorticoids. The secretion of MIF is tightly regulated and decreases at high, anti-inflammatory steroid concentration. |
Description | MIF human Recombinant was cloned into an E.coli expression vector and was purified to apparent homogeneity by using conventional column chromatography techniques.Macrophage Inducing Factor Human Recombinant is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 115a.a. and having a molecular weight of 12.5 kDa. |
Source | E.coli |
AA Sequence | MPMFIVNTNVPRASVPDGFLSELTQQLAQATGKPPQYIAVHVVPDQLMAFGGSSEPCALCSLHSIGKIGGAQNRSYSKLLCGLLAERLRISPDRVYINYYDMNAANVGWNNSTFA. |
Purity | >97.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
Endotoxin | <1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method. |
Bioactivity | Human PBMCs were cultured with 0 to 1000ng/ml Human MIF. Production of IL-8 was measured via ELISA after 24 hours. The ED50 which was found to be 88-132ng/ml. |
Formulation | MIF-Protein was lyophilized from 10mM sodium phosphate buffer pH-7.5. |
Stability | Recombinant protein is stable for 12 months at -70°C |
Usage | For Research Use Only |
Storage | Lyophilized MIF-protein although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution MIF-protein should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
