Product overview
Porcine MIF ELISA Kit (ab273211) is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of porcine MIF in serum (Porcine MIF concentration is low in normal serum and plasma, and may not be detectable in this assay), plasma and cell culture supernatants.
This assay employs an antibody specific for porcine MIF coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and MIF present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and biotinylated anti-porcine MIF antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of MIF bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.

Function
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. -
Involvement in disease
Genetic variations in MIF are associated with susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis systemic juvenile (RASJ) [MIM:604302]. An inflammatory articular disorder with systemic-onset beginning before the age of 16. It represents a subgroup of juvenile arthritis associated with severe extraarticular features and occasionally fatal complications. During active phases of the disorder, patients display a typical daily spiking fever, an evanescent macular rash, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, serositis, myalgia and arthritis. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the MIF family. -
Cellular localization
Secreted. Cytoplasm. Does not have a cleavable signal sequence and is secreted via a specialized, non-classical pathway. Secreted by macrophages upon stimulation by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), or by M.tuberculosis antigens. - Information by UniProt
