Pathogenic bacteria and TNF do not induce production of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) by human monocytes
Elevated serum macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is associated with severe sepsis, but it is not clear whether bacteria stimulate synthesis of MIF by blood leukocytes directly or via induction of TNF. Here we assess production of MIF mRNA and protein by blood leukocytes from healthy human...
