| Abstract: | Background Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) has special pro-inflammatory roles, affecting the functions of macrophages and
lymphocytes and counter-regulating the effects of glucocorticoids on the immune response. The conspicuous expression of MIF
during human implantation and early embryonic development also suggests this factor acts in reproductive functions. The overall
goal of this study was to evaluate Mif expression by trophoblast and embryo placental cells during mouse pregnancy. |
