Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) ELISA

Catalog Number:

438407

MIF levels have been shown to be high in patients with acute dengue. Therefore, we set out to validate if this can be used as a biomarker to validate presence of severe dengue infection. We determined MIF levels in serum from a large cohort of patients with varying severity and calculated ROC curves to determine if this can be used as a biomarker for severe dengue.
