A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of LIF antibody, Alternative Names: LIF control peptide, LIF antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-LIF Blocking Peptide, Leukemia Inhibitory Factor Blocking Peptide, Cholinergic Differentiation Factor Blocking Peptide, CDF Blocking Peptide, D-FACTOR Blocking Peptide, HILDA Blocking Peptide
LIF is a pleiotropic cytokine with roles in several different systems. It is involved in the induction of hematopoietic differentiation in normal and myeloid leukemia cells, induction of neuronal cell differentiation, regulator of mesenchymal to epithelial conversion during kidney development, and may also have a role in immune tolerance at the maternal-fetal interface.
