Delayed development of chronic lymphocytic leukemia in the absence of macrophage migration inhibitory factor
2 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Survival of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells depends on stimuli provided by a suitable microenvironment. The factors and mechanisms providing this growth support for CLL cells are not fully understood. We found that plasma levels of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), a proinflammatory and immunoregulatory chemokine, were elevated in CLL patients. Therefore, we characterized the...
