The following Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of macrophage migration inhibitory factor in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the MIF gene. This protein is known to be a pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in the innate immune response to bacterial pathogens. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 115 residues, a mass of 12.5 kDa, and is a member of the MIF protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the cytoplasm and is secreted. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Rheumatoid arthritis systemic juvenile. This protein may also be known as GLIF, MMIF, L-dopachrome isomerase, L-dopachrome tautomerase, epididymis secretory sperm binding protein, and GIF.
The detection range for different macrophage migration inhibitory factor ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.3 ng/L and as high as 50 ng/mL.
