Abstract excerpt

The macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays an important role in the pathogenesis of immune diseases. High levels of MIF have been detected in the sera of patients with tuberculosis (TB), and it has been proposed that MIF gene polymorphisms may influence the risk of developing TB. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential relationship between functional...
