Abstract:
The levels of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and serum in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) were detected by real-time PCR and ELISA,respectively.The results revealed that the expression of MIF mRNA in PBMC ( Z =-4.276,P<0.01 ) and protein level in serum ( Z=-5.358,P<0.01 ) were increased in HT patients,and positively correlated with thyroid specific autoantibodies and TSH levels.
