Abstract excerpt
Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is structurally related to interleukin-6 (IL-6), oncostatin M (OSM), and ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF). Since LIF-deficient mice do not exhibit overt phenotypic effects in cell types known to be targets for LIF action in vitro, we examined the ability of IL-6...
