Anti-MIF Antibody, clone M1, preservative free

Descrição detalhada : MIF, also known as Macrophage migration inhibitory factor, or Glycosylation-inhibiting factor (GIF), L-dopachrome isomerase, L-dopachrome tautomerase, or Phenylpyruvate tautomerase, and encoded by the gene MIF/GLIF/MMIF, is proinflammatory cytokine involved in the innate immune response to bacterial pathogens. MIF is secreted by macrophages upon stimulation by bacterial lipopolysaccharide or bacterial antigens, and the expression of MIF at sites of inflammation suggests a role as a mediator in regulating the function of macrophages in host defense. MIF also counteracts the anti-inflammatory activity of glucocorticoids and has various enzyme activities but their physiological function is not known. MIF expression is primarily lymphocytes, macrophages and immune system cells. Defects in MIF may be associated with Rheumatoid arthritis systemic juvenile disease, an inflammatory articular disorder with systemic onset beginning at age 16. Also serum levels of MIF are elevated in cases of severe sepsis and are correlated with low survival.
