OVEREXPRESSION OF MACROPHAGE MIGRATION INHIBITORY FACTOR AND ITS HOMOLOGUE D-DOPACHROME TAUTOMERASE AS NEGATIVE PROGNOSTIC FACTOR IN NEUROBLASTOMA

Overexpression of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor and Its Homologue D-Dopachrome Tautomerase as Negative Prognostic Factor in Neuroblastoma

Neuroblastoma (NB) Table Top represents one of the most frequent pediatric solid tumors.Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a cytokine exerting multiple biological functions.More recently, a second member of the MIF family of cytokine has been identified, the D-dopachrome tautomerase (DDT), that exerts several overlapping functions with
