MIF has the unique property of being released from macrophages and T cells in response to physiological concentrations of glucocorticoids. The secretion of MIF is tightly regulated and decreases at high, anti-inflammatory steroid concentration. |
Synonyms | Phenylpyruvate tautomerase, Glycosylation-inhibiting factor, GIF, MMIF, MIF. |
Source | Escherichia Coli. |
Physical Appearance | Sterile Filtered lyophilized powder. |
Formulation | Human MIF was lyophilized from a 1mg/ml solution containing PBS pH-7.4. |
Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized MIF in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
Stability | Lyophilized MIF althoµgh stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution MIF should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
