The MIF Polyclonal Antibody (PACO64043) is specifically designed for research involving MIF, a cytokine known for its role in immune regulation and inflammatory responses. The antibody, produced in rabbits, is highly reactive with human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications. By binding to the MIF protein, this antibody allows for the detection and analysis of MIF in various cell types, making it an ideal tool for studies in immunology, inflammation, and infectious diseases.
MIF, or Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor, is a key player in the innate immune response and has been implicated in numerous diseases, including sepsis, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer. Its ability to modulate inflammation and promote cell survival makes it a promising target for therapeutic intervention. Research using this antibody can help uncover the mechanisms by which MIF contributes to disease pathogenesis and may lead to the development of novel treatments targeting this cytokine.

Background:
Pro-inflammatory cytokine. Involved in the innate immune response to bacterial pathogens. The expression of MIF at sites of inflammation suggests a role as mediator in regulating the function of macrophages in host defense. Counteracts the anti-inflammatory activity of glucocorticoids. Has phenylpyruvate tautomerase and dopachrome tautomerase activity (in vitro), but the physiological substrate is not known. It is not clear whether the tautomerase activity has any physiological relevance, and whether it is important for cytokine activity (By similarity).
