Abstract excerpt
Macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 (MIC-1) is a divergent member of the TGF-beta superfamily. There are at least two known alleles of MIC-1 that are due to a G-->C point substitution at position 6 of the mature protein, which alters a histidine to an aspartic acid (MIC-1 H and MIC-1 D). We have determined the phenotype of MIC-1 circulating in serum by exploiting the differences in the affinity of the two monoclonal...
