Rat Leukemia Inhibitory Factor Receptor (LIFR) ELISA Kit

Rat Leukemia Inhibitory Factor Receptor (LIFR) ELISA Kit

This ELISA kit is designed to detect Rat Leukemia Inhibitory Factor Receptor (Rat LIFR). The assay plate has been pre-coated with mouse anti-Rat LIFR monoclonal antibody. When the sample containing LIFR is added to the plate, it binds to the antibodies coated on the wells. Then, a horseradish peroxidase conjugated mouse anti-Rat LIFR Antibody is added to the wells and binds to LIFR in the sample. After washing the wells, substrate solutions are added, and the color intensity is directly proportional to the amount of Rat LIFR present. The reaction is stopped by adding an acidic stop solution, and the absorbance is measured at 450 nm.

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.
