| Formulation |
Lyophilized from a 0.2um filtered concentrated solution in 1PBS, pH 7.4 and 5% trehalose. |
| Solubility |
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized MIF in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Purity |
Greater than 95.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
MIF Rat Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 115 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 12.5kDa. The MIF is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein 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. |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms |
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor, MIF, Glutathione-binding 13 kDa protein, L-dopachrome isomerase, L-dopachrome tautomerase, Phenylpyruvate tautomerase. |
| Reagent Appearance |
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Stability |
Lyophilized MIF although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution MIF 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. |
