ESGRO® Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF), 10 million units/1 mL
Description:
ESGRO® Mouse LIF Medium Supplement
Trade Name:
Chemicon (Millipore)
Qty/Pk:
107 units
Applications:
The ESGRO Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) for use as a reagent for the in vitro maintenance of the pluripotential phenotype of murine ES cells. It includes 10^7 units.
Key Applications:
Stem Cell Culture
Application Notes:
Applications for ESGRO® Supplement include use as a reagent for the in vitro maintenance of the pluripotential phenotype of murine ES cells.
SUGGESTED PROTOCOLS:
ES Cells: In D3 and MBL-1 pluripotential ES cell cultures it is routinely found that 1000 U ESGRO® Supplement per 1.0 mL of tissue culture media is required to maintain ES cells with a stem cell phenotype. Similar concentrations of mLIF have also been used for germline transmission of genetically altered ES cells(E3).
At the recommended concentration 107 units of ESGRO® is sufficient for 10.0 L of tissue culture media and 106 units of ESGRO® Supplement is sufficient for 1.0 L of tissue culture media.

Entrez Gene Summary:
Leukaemia inhibitory factor is a cytokine that induces macrophage differentiation. Neurotransmitters and neuropeptides, well known for their role in the communication between neurons, are also capable of activating monocytes and macrophages and inducing chemotaxis in immune cells. LIF signals through different receptors and transcription factors. LIF in conjunction with BMP2 acts in synergy on primary fetal neural progenitor cells to induce astrocytes.
