  • Immunogen
  • Isotype
    Mouse IgG1
  • Preparation
    This antibody was produced from a hybridoma resulting from the fusion of a mouse myeloma with B cells obtained from a mouse immunized with purified, recombinant Human LIFR / CD118 (rh LIFR; NP_001121143.1; Met 1-Ser 833). The IgG fraction of the cell culture supernatant was purified by Protein A affinity chromatography.
  • Clonality
    Monoclonal
  • Formulation
    0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS with 5% trehalose
  • Storage instructions
    This antibody can be stored at 2℃-8℃ for one month without detectable loss of activity. Antibody products are stable for twelve months from date of receipt when stored at -20℃ to -80℃. Preservative-Free.
    Sodium azide is recommended to avoid contamination (final concentration 0.05%-0.1%). It is toxic to cells and should be disposed of properly. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
  • Applications

    ELISA: 0.5-1 μg/mL

    This antibody can be used at 0.5-1 μg/mL with the appropriate secondary reagents to detect Human LIFR. The detection limit for Human LIFR is 0.078 ng/well.

    IHC-P: 10-20 μg/mL

  • Validations

    LIFR / CD118 Antibody, Mouse MAb, Immunohistochemistry

    LIFR / CD118 Antibody, Mouse MAb, Immunohistochemistry

    Immunochemical staining of human LIFR in human placenta with mouse monoclonal antibody (15 µg/mL, formalin-fixed paraffin embedded sections). Positive staining was localized to trophoblast.

  • Background
    LIFR (leukemia inhibitory factor receptor) belongs to the family of cytokine receptors. LIFR forms a high-affinity receptor complex with gp130, which mediates the activity of LIF (leukemia inhibitory factor) and thus affects the differentiation, proliferation, and survival of a wide variety of cells in the adult and the embryo. Besides LIF, LIFR can also bind to and activate CNTF (ciliary neurotrophic factor) and CLC (cardiotrophin like cytokine). Evidence showed that in the retina, LIFR activating LIF, CT-1 and cardiotrophin like cytokine (CLC) are strongly upregulated in response to preconditioning with bright cyclic light leading to robust activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT3) in a time-dependent manner. Further, blocking LIFR activation during preconditioning using a LIFR antagonist (LIF05) attenuated the induced STAT3 activation and also resulted in reduced preconditioning-induced protection of the retinal photoreceptors. These data demonstrate that LIFR and its ligands play an essential role in endogenous neuroprotective mechanisms triggered by preconditioning-induced stress. LIFR was newly found to be a suppressor of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), one of the world's top five causes of cancer-related deaths.
