Applications

Bioactivity, Endotoxin

Source

E. coli.

UniProt No.P09056
Purity

> 98 % by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.

Bioactivity

Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The specific activity is determined by inducing differentiation of Mouse M1 myeloid leukemic cells. The minimum detectable concentration of rMuLIF in this assay is 0.01 ng/ml. The specific activity of > 1.0 × 108 IU/mg, where 50 units is defined as the amount of rMuLIF required to induce differentiation in 50 % of the M1 colonies in 1 ml agar cultures.

Endotoxin

Less than 1 EU/μg of rMuLIF as determined by LAL method.

Molecular Weight

Approximately 19.9 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 180 amino acids.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in 20 mM PB, pH 7.4, with 0.02 % TWEEN 20.

Alternative Names

LIF, Mouse

Storage

-20C

Reconstitution

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
