Background:  

LIF is a cytokine with important functions in diversified biological processes including cell differentiation, inflammatory response, neuronal development and cancer progression. LIF can induce the terminal differentiation of leukemia cells, thus it inhibits the further progression of leukemia. However, it has opposite effects on many other cancers, such as breast cancer and bladder cancer etc. Several recent studies have shown that LIF might play a significant role in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumorigenesis development. Treatment of pancreatic cancer by blocking LIF is currently under investigation. Research also demonstrated that elevated LIF level in pancreatic tissue and circulation was correlated with the cancer progression, indicating that LIF might be useful as a biomarker.

Application: 

ELISA: This antibody is reactive to recombinant human LIF in indirect ELISA.

Western blot: This antibody detected recombinant LIF protein on Western Blot.
