product information

Catalog Number :

200-901-457

Name :

Anti-Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) (CHICKEN) Antibody - 200-901-457

Display Name :

MIF Antibody

Application Note :

This IgY fraction antibody of anti-Human macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) has been tested for use in ELISA and immunoblotting. Although not tested, this antibody may also be useful for neutralization assays, immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry. The antibody recognizes 12,300 MW mature human MIF. The MIF gene encodes a protein of 115 aa. The initiating methionine is cleaved leaving a mature protein of 114 aa. Reactivity in other immunoassays is unknown.

Immunogen :

This IgY fraction antibody was prepared from eggs of chickens laid after repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to aa 2-32 of Human MIF conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). MIF is a proinflammatory cytokine that plays an important role in systemic inflammatory events.

Packing Type :

Ambient

Physical State :

Lyophilized

Preservative :

0.01% (w/v) Sodium Azide

Purity and Specificity :

This product is an IgY fraction antibody purified from monospecific chicken egg yolks by a multi-step process which includes selective precipitation and salt fractionation followed by extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Chicken Serum. The antibody is directed against the 12,300 MW human MIF protein and is useful in determining its presence in various assays. If neutralization experiments are performed for human MIF activity in bioassays, it is recommended to incubate the sample with a 1:500 dilution of the antibody for at least 4 hours before being tested. A control of similarly diluted normal chicken IgG is recommended. If FACS analysis experiments are performed for human MIF caution should be exhibited as the F( c) domain of the chicken IgG molecule may interact with cells non-specifically.

Target Species :

Human

Background :

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine. It is involved in the innate immune response to bacterial pathogens. The expression of MIF at sites of inflammation suggests a role as mediator in regulating the function of macrophages in host defense. It counteracts the anti-inflammatory activity of glucocorticoids. MIF has phenylpyruvate tautomerase and dopachrome tautomerase activity (in vitro), but the physiological substrate is not known. It is not clear whether the tautomerase activity has any physiological relevance, and whether it is important for cytokine activity.
