Analysis of the role of Dirofilaria repens macrophage migration inhibitory factors in host–parasite interactions [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Research
Dirofilaria repens is a zoonotic parasitic filarial nematode that infects carnivores and occasionally humans. Knowledge of the host–parasite molecular interactions enabling the parasite’s avoidance of the host immune response in subcutaneous ...

Transcriptional profiling of human monocytes identifies the inhibitory receptor CD300a as regulator of transendothelial migration. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Local inflammatory responses are characterized by the recruitment of circulating leukocytes from the blood to sites of inflammation, a process requiring the directed migration of leukocytes across the vessel wall and hence a penetration of the ...

Association of macrophage migration inhibitory factor gene polymorphisms with chronic periodontitis in a South Eastern Iranian population

open access: yesDental Research Journal, 2017
Background: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a key proinflammatory mediator. It plays a vital role in immune response against the oral disease. MIF is a regulator of innate immunity, and bacterial antigens can stimulate serum level of this
