Notes

Lot Specific Information:
Given endotoxin and ED50 values are acceptance criteria standards. For lot specific values, please contact technical support.

Detailed Reconstitution:
Centrifuge vial before opening. Suspend the product by gently pipetting the recommended solution down the sides of the vial. DO NOT VORTEX. Allow several minutes for complete reconstitution. For prolonged storage, dilute to working aliquots in a 0.1% BSA solution, store at -80C and avoid repeat freeze thaws.

Expiration Date:
12 months from date of receipt when stored at -20C to-80C as supplied. 1 month when stored at 4C after reconstituting as directed. 3 months when stored at -20C to -80C after reconstituting as directed.

Background

LIF (leukemia inhibitory factor, myeloid leukemia inhibitory factor) a pleiotropic lymphoid factor was initially described as a factor that inhibits the proliferation of myeloid leukemia cells and induces their differentiation into macrophages. Other activities of LIF include inhibition of adipogenesis, cholinergic neuron differentiation and bone metabolism. Human and mouse LIF share 78% homology and activities of LIF are not species-specific. Human LIF is active on mouse cells, but murine LIF is not active on human cells.

Advantages of barley endosperm Folding -Proficient protein machinery, with eukaryotic folding, allows for native formation of the protein and long term protection and storage. Environment -A biochemically inert environment, void of endotoxins, low protease activity and secondary metabolite content, and a simple protein profile, aid in downstream processing in barley. FDA G.R.A.S status -Barley is recognized by the FDA as having G.R.A.S (generally recognized as safe) status.
