Introduction
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 Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single,
non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 138 amino acids (1-115 a.a) and
having a molecular mass of 14.9kDa.
MIF is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus
& purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered colorless solution.
Formulation
MIF protein solution (0.5mg/ml) containing Phosphate
buffered saline , 10% glycerol
and 1mM DTT.
Stability
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4
weeks.
Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier
protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
