Gene polymorphisms of the macrophage migration inhibitory factor and acute pancreatitis.

JOP : Journal of the pancreas - 9 May 2007

Makhija Rohit, Kingsnorth Andrew, Demaine Andrew

Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a proinflammatory cytokine that is released by macrophages and lymphocytes and plays an important pathogenetic role in acute pancreatitis. It is present in large amounts in the serum and ascitic fluid in rats with experimental pancreatitis and its levels are elevated in humans with pancreatitis. Polymorphisms associated with inflammatory joint diseases...
