Measurement of leukemia inhibitory factor in biological fluids by radioimmunoassay.
Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) exhibits multiple biological activities in various tissues, and we have shown that LIF activates POMC gene transcription in response to immune signals. As higher serum levels of LIF have been reported in septicemia, we measured LIF values in biological fluids by RIA. Immunoreactive LIF was detected in 303 of 428 human serum samples. Circulating LIF detection rat...
متن کاملInvestigation of Leptin, Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF), and IL-6 Serum Levels in Myeloid Leukemia
Background: Leptin has been implicated in the differentiation and proliferation of hematopoietic cells. Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) may play an important role, along with Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G- CSF), in the regulation of early hematopoietic stem cells. The aim of the study was to evaluate serum level of leptin, LIF, and IL-6 in myeloid leukemia p...

متن کاملCodon Optimization, Cloning and Expression of the Human Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (hLIF) in E. coli
Background: Leukemia inhibitor factor (LIF) is a very important pleiotropic cytokine which belongs to interleukin-6 (IL-6) family. LIF exerts multiple effects on different types of cells and tissues with numerous regulatory effects in vivo and in vitro. It is a lymphoid factor, which performs a number of activities including cholinergic neuron differentiation, contro...
متن کاملLeukemia inhibitory factor levels are elevated in septic shock and various inflammatory body fluids.
Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) has many biological actions which parallel those of IL-1, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, but its role in the pathogenesis of human disease is unknown. A specific radioreceptor competition assay capable of detecting LIF at concentrations above 1 ng/ml (45 pM) was developed. To identify disease states in which LIF might be involved, a cross-sectional survey...
