Macrophage migration inhibitory factor: gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to inflammatory diseases.

Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America - 15 Nov 2005

Renner Pascal, Roger Thierry, Calandra Thierry

Abstract excerpt

The cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a constitutive element of the host antimicrobial defenses and stress response that promotes proinflammatory function of the innate and acquired immune systems. MIF plays an important role in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic inflammatory or autoimmune disorders, such as sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and...
