| Description | Bovine Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Bovine LIF. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Bovine LIF and analogues was observed. Leukemia inhibitory factor, an interleukin 6 class cytokine, is a protein in cells that affects cell growth and development. LIF derives its name from its ability to induce the terminal differentiation of myeloid leukaemic cells. Other properties attributed to the cytokine include: the growth promotion and cell differentiation of different types of target cells, influence on bone metabolism, cachexia, neural development, embryogenesis and inflammation. LIF is normally expressed in the trophectoderm of the developing embryo, with its receptor LIFR expressed throughout the inner cell mass. As embryonic stem cells are derived from the inner cell mass at the blastocyst stage, removing them from the inner cell mass also removes their source of LIF. This Bovine Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate LIF in samples. An antibody specific for LIF has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyLIF present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for LIF is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of LIF bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured. |
