Abstract excerpt
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) has been shown to functionally inactivate the p53 tumor suppressor and to inhibit p53-responsive gene expression and apoptosis. To better understand the role of MIF in cell growth and tumor biology, we evaluated MIF-null embryonic fibroblasts with respect to their immortalization and transformation properties. Although minor deviations in the growth characteristics of...
