Increase of macrophage migration inhibitory factor in sera of patients with iridocyclitis

Increase of macrophage migration inhibitory factor in sera of patients with iridocyclitis.

AIMS To determine whether macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) levels were increased in sera of the patients with iridocyclitis. METHODS Sera were obtained from 41 patients with acute iridocyclitis, 13 patients with chronic iridocyclitis, and 44 healthy control subjects. MIF levels were determined by a human MIF ELISA. RESULTS The average levels of MIF in the sera of patients with b...

Detection of Plasmodium falciparum derived macrophage migration inhibitory factor homologue in the sera of malaria patients.

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor homologues have been identified from several genera of parasites, including Plasmodium, and have shown some functional similarities to the host molecule. It was hypothesized that MIF molecules can act as a regulator in host-parasite interaction in favor of parasites survival during malaria infection. Although there has been some progress in recent studies,...

Increase of macrophage migration inhibitory factor levels in lacrimal fluid of patients with severe atopic dermatitis

Background and aims of the study: Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that frequently involves some ophthalmic features. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a proinflammatory cytokine that is associated with the generation of cell-mediated immune responses. Although serum MIF levels may be elevated in severe atopic dermatitis, the quantity of MIF in regional oc...
