Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor in Protozoan Infections [PDF]

Journal of Parasitology Research, 2012
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a cytokine that plays a central role in immune and inflammatory responses. In the present paper, we discussed the participation of MIF in the immune response to protozoan parasite infections.

Brain Miffed by Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor [PDF]

International Journal of Cell Biology, 2012
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a cytokine which also exhibits enzymatic properties like oxidoreductase and tautomerase. MIF plays a pivotal role in innate and acquired immunity as well as in the neuroendocrine axis.

Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor in Cancer

Cancer Investigation, 2007
The objective of this study was to investigate the expression of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in patients with colorectal cancer (GIS) and malignant melanoma (MM). The study group consists of pathologically verified colorectal cancer (n = 63) and malignant melanoma (n = 65) patients and healthy controls (n = 25).

Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor in Human Pregnancy and Labor

American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, 2002
PROBLEM: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a proinflammatory cytokine involved in reproduction. Presently there is no information on the possible involvement of MIF in the onset of labor.METHODS: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor was assayed, by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), in maternal serum (MS) and amniotic fluid (AF)

Synthesis and in vitro activity tests of N-benzoyl-N'-phenylthiourea derivatives as macrophage migration inhibitory factor [Síntesis y pruebas de actividad in vitro de derivados de N-benzoil-N'-feniltiourea como factor inhibidor de la migración de macrófagos] [PDF]

, 2023
Context: The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 resulted in widespread mortalities due to cytokine storms in the affected patients. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is one of the most interesting targets in developing anti-COVID-19 drugs.

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor [PDF]

Critical Care Medicine, 2005
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) has been proposed to be the physiologic counter-regulator of glucocorticoid action within the immune system. In this role, MIF's position within the cytokine cascade is to act in concert with glucocorticoids to control both the "set point" and the magnitude of the inflammatory response. As well as overriding

Role of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor in NLRP3 Inflammasome Expression in Otitis Media [PDF]

, 2020
Hypothesis: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor plays an important role in the expression of interleukin (IL)-1β and the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in lipopolysaccharide-induced otitis ...
