Product Overview
Clone ABAG-13 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes macrophage migration inhibitory factor (gene MIF) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, immunoprecipitation and flow cytometry. The predicted molecular weight is 12.5 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 12 kDa.
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine released by macrophages and many other cell types. It supports innate immune responses to bacteria and can counteract the anti-inflammatory effects of glucocorticoids. It also has tautomerase activity in vitro, although the physiological relevance of this is unclear, and it is widely studied in inflammation and immune disease.

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human THP-1 cells, human 293T cells, human U2OS cells, human HepG2 cells, rat brain tissue, rat liver tissue, mouse brain tissue, mouse liver tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 1:500 overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:500, ECL detection.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide based on the sequence of human MIF.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt describes macrophage migration inhibitory factor as secreted and also located in the cytoplasm. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
