Anti-Leukemia Inhibitory Factor antibodies are used in antigen-specific immunodetection in biological samples. The target Leukemia Inhibitory Factor is a known alias name of the protein LIF interleukin 6 family cytokine, encoded by the LIF gene in humans. This 202-amino acid residue protein is known to be involved in immune response pathways and lung development, among other biological processes. The protein is secreted and features glycosylated post-translational modifications. Other synonyms for Leukemia Inhibitory Factor include CDF, DIA, and HILDA. A number of Leukemia Inhibitory Factor antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
