Target Details for MIF

Target: MIF (Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (Glycosylation-Inhibiting Factor) (MIF))

Alternative Name: MIF

Background:

Gene Symbols: MIF, GLIF, MMIF

Background: The Carbamylated-MIF and Total-MIF ELISA Kit is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the measurement of human carbamylated ATP-citrate synthase and total ATP-citrate synthase. An anti-pan MIF antibody has been coated onto a 96-well plate. 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-carbamylation antibody is used to detect carbamylated MIF or biotinylated anti-MIF antibody is used to detect total MIF . After washing away unbound 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 carbamylated MIF or total MIF bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.
