Related Product Information for anti-MIF antibody
Background: MIF (macrophage migration inhibitory factor) was one of the first cytokine activities to be discovered and was initially described as a T cell-derived factor that inhibits the random migration of microphages. Recently, MIF was rediscovered as a pituitary hormone that acts as the counter-regulatory hormone for glucocorticoid action within the immune system. MIF was released from macrophages and T-cells in response to physiological concentrations of glucocorticoids. The secreted MIF counter-regulates the immunosuppressive effects of steroids on immune cell activation and cytokine production. MIF also plays a critical role in the host control of inflammation and immunity.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a lymphokine involved in cell-mediated immunity, immunoregulation, and inflammation. It plays a role in the regulation of macrophage function in host defense through the suppression of anti-inflammatory effects of glucocorticoids. This lymphokine and the JAB1 protein form a complex in the cytosol near the peripheral plasma membrane, which may indicate an additional role in integrin signaling pathways.

Product Notes

The MIF mif (Catalog #AAA840228) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The MIF Antibody reacts with Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's MIF can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunoprecipitation (IP). Western blotting (0.5-4 ug/ml) and immunoprecipitation (5-10 ug/ml). However, the optimal conditions should be determined individually. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MIF mif for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "MIF, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
