Background:LIF
Based on its helical structure, LIF (Leukemia Inhibitory Factor) is considered a member of the Interleukin-6 family of cytokines. Functionally, it has been implicated in a many physiological processes including development, hematopoiesis, bone metabolism, and inflammation. Some cell types known to express LIF include activated T cells, monocytes, astrocytes, osteoblasts, keratinocytes, regenerating skeletal muscle, mast cells, and fibroblasts.

Product Summary:
The Quantikine Mouse LIF Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure mouse LIF levels in cell culture supernates, serum, and EDTA plasma. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant mouse LIF and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. Results obtained for naturally occurring mouse LIF showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values of natural mouse LIF.
Precision:
Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay)Three samples of known concentration were tested on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.
Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays)Three samples of known concentration were tested in separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.

Recovery:
The recovery of mouse LIF spiked to three levels throughout the range of the assay in various matrices was evaluated.

Linearity:
To assess the linearity of the assay, samples containing and/or spiked with high concentrations of mouse LIF in each matrix were diluted with Calibrator Diluent and then assayed.
