Description Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF), a lymphoid factor, is widely used to maintain the pluripotency of mouse embryonic stem cells. LIF is also involved in a wide variety of biological processes including hematopoietic cell proliferation, neuronal survival and formation, and bone formation. Removal of LIF pushes stem cells toward differentiation, but they retain their proliferative potential or pluripotency. Therefore LIF is used in mouse embryonic stem cell culture. It is necessary to maintain the stem cells in an undifferentiated state. Mouse LIF is a 20 kDa protein containing 181 amino acid residues. mLIF is expressed in E. coli and purified by HPLC chromatography.
