Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor

Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology ((MIMB,volume 2080))

Abstract

MIF is a key regulator of host immune responses and increased levels secreted from cells, or found circulating systemically, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of many inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. Here, we describe methods for detecting and quantifying extracellular concentrations of MIF in both human- and murine-derived biological samples.
