Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF): a promising biomarker.

Drug news & perspectives - 1 May 2010

Grieb Gerrit, Merk Melanie, Bernhagen Jürgen, Bucala Richard

Abstract excerpt

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is an immunoregulatory cytokine, the effect of which on arresting random immune cell movement was recognized several decades ago. Despite its historic name, MIF also has a direct chemokine-like function and promotes cell recruitment. Multiple clinical studies have indicated the utility of MIF as a biomarker for different diseases that have an inflammatory component;...
