For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20°C or lower. Please avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. This product is stable after storage at: ● -20°C to -70°C for 12 months in lyophilized state; ● -70℃ for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
Background :
Leukemia inhibitory factor, or LIF, an interleukin 6 class cytokine, is a protein in cells that affects cell growth and development.Leukemia Inhibitory Factor has several functions such as cholinergic neuron differentiation, control of stem cell pluripotency, bone & fat metabolism, mitogenesis of factor dependent cell lines & promotion of megakaryocyte production in vivo. Removal of LIF pushes stem cells toward differentiation, but they retain their proliferative potential or pluripotency. Therefore LIF is used in mouse embryonic stem cell culture. It is necessary to maintain the stem cells in an undifferentiated state, however genetic manipulation of embryonic stem cells allows for LIF independent growth, notably overexpression of the gene Nanog. LIF is not required for culture of human embryonic stem cells.

ACROBiosystems is a leading manufacturer of recombinant proteins and other critical reagents to support the development of target therapeutics, vaccines and diagnostic kits.

Our team has worked tirelessly since the genomic sequence of SARS-CoV-2 was first published, developing a serial of critical reagents to fight COVID-19. Our team has successfully developed a new neutralizing antibody titer serologic assay kit for COVID-19 vaccine evaluation (Cat.No.TAS-K022) which really showed excellent performance.

As the emerging variants may have impacted on the development of the COVID-19 epidemic, our team is also going full steam ahead on developing a collection of spike mutants for the emerging variants of SARS-COV-2. The reagents can be used to evaluate the efficacy of the antibodies and vaccination.

We have also developed an extensive collection of recombinant proteins to support the development for bispecific antibodies, antibody drug conjugates and cell therapies.
