Macrophage migration inhibitory factor as a potential prognostic factor in gastric cancer

Figure 1 Macrophage migration inhibitory factor protein expression levels in gastric cancer cell lines and tissues. A: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) protein expression was increased in five gastric cancer cell lines compared with that of α-tubulin (control). Results are representative of three independent experiments; B: Expression of MIF protein in normal and gastric cancer tissue samples. Magnification in the three top panels is × 40 and is × 100 in the bottom three panels. Survival was assessed by Kaplan-Meier analysis and differences were calculated with the log rank test.
