Applikationshinweise
ELISA: 1/128000. Western blot: 0.01-0.03 μg/mL. Immunohistochemistry on Paraffin Sections: 2.5 μg/mL. This antibody was validated for use in immunohistochemistry on a panel of 21formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) human tissues after heat induced antigenretrieval in pH 6.0 citrate buffer. After incubation with the primary antibody, slides wereincubated with biotinylated secondary antibody, followed by AlkalinePhosphatase-streptavidin and chromogen. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

MIF is a proinflammatory cytokine involved in many inflammatory reactions and disorders. MIF (macrophage migration inhibitory factor) was one of the first cytokines to be discovered and was initially described as a T cell-derived factor that inhibits the random migration of macrophages (Weiser 1989). Recently, MIF was rediscovered as a pituitary hormone that act as the counterregulatory hormone for glucocorticoid action within the immune system (Bernhagen 1993, Mitchell 1995). 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 (Bucala 1998). MIF plays a critical role in the host control of inflammation and immunity. MIF is involved in both autoimmune disorders and tumorigenesis.Synonyms: GLIF, Glycosylation-inhibiting factor, MMIF, Macrophage migration inhibitory factor, Phenylpyruvate tautomerase
