Active Recombinant Mouse Lif Protein (Ready-to-Use, 181 amino acid)

• Cat.No.: Lif-33M
• Product Overview: Recombinant Mouse Lif Protein (Ready-to-Use) without tag was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Species: Mouse
• Source: E.coli
• Protein Length: 181 amino acid
• Description: Enables cytokine activity and growth factor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; generation of neurons; and positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; cranium; early conceptus; and female reproductive system. Orthologous to human LIF (LIF interleukin 6 family cytokine).
• Bio-activity: Mouse LIF activity is assessed by its ability to induce differentiation of M1 myeloid leukemia cells. The specific activity is 1 × 10^6 units/ml and 1 × 10^7 units/ml, where 50 units is defined as the amount of mouse LIF required to induce differentiation in 50% of the M1 colonies in 1 mL of medium.
• Molecular Mass: 20 kDa
• Endotoxin: < 0.01 ng/μg cytokine as determined by the LAL assay
• Purity: > 98% by SDS-PAGE
• Usage: 1 ml of mouse LIF with the specific activity of 1x106 units/ml is sufficient to treat 1 L of embryonic stem cell culture media. 1 mL of mouse LIF with the specific activity of 1x107 units/ml is sufficient to treat 10 L of embryonic stem cell culture media.
• Storage: It is stable for up to 12 months at 2-4 centigrade in original formulation. For extended storage, it is recommended to store in working aliquots at -20 to -80 centigrade. Freeze-thaw should be avoided as it can result in loss of activity.
• Storage Buffer: 1×phosphate-buffered saline with 0.02% Tween-20 and 1.0% (w/v) BSA. Sterile filtered through a 0.2 micron filter.
• Shipping: This product is shipped at ambient temperature with cold pack.
