Abstract excerpt

The macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a cytokine that plays an important role in inhibiting the growth of pathogenic Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) and regulates immune responses against M.tb pathogen. MIF -173 G > C gene polymorphism may affect immunity in an individual and leads to susceptibility to tuberculosis (TB). A large number of studies have investigated the relevance of this...
