Anti-MIF antibody,Abcam,AB7207

Target data Pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in the innate immune response to bacterial pathogens (By similarity). The expression of MIF at sites of inflammation suggests a role as mediator in regulating the function of macrophages in host defense (By similarity). Counteracts the anti-inflammatory activity of glucocorticoids (By similarity). Has phenylpyruvate tautomerase and dopachrome tautomerase activity (in vitro), but the physiological substrate is not known (PubMed : 10933783, PubMed : 16780921, PubMed : 19188446). It is not clear whether the tautomerase activity has any physiological relevance, and whether it is important for cytokine activity (PubMed : 10933783, PubMed : 16780921, PubMed : 19188446).
