Macrophage Migration-Inhibitory Factors

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: Proteins released by sensitized LYMPHOCYTES and possibly other cells that inhibit the migration of MACROPHAGES away from the release site. The structure and chemical properties may vary with the species and type of releasing cell.  /biosyn /physiol permitted    Other names Migration Inhibition Factors, Macrophage; Migration-Inhibitory Factors, Macrophage; Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factors; Migration Inhibition Factor, Macrophage; Macrophage Migration Inhibition Factors
