Molecule/Cell:
MIF

Additional differences:
Malaria (NCSM + UM) < HC (patients in the convalescent phase of malaria); PBMC-derived MIF mRNA from malaria < PBMC-derived MIF mRNA from HC; + correlation with IL-12 and TGF-b1; IFN-g was the most significant predictor of MIF independent of disease severity
