Human MacrophageMigrationInhibitoryFactor (MIF) is a trimeric cytokine implicated in a number of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases and cancer. We previously reported that the dye p425 (Chicago Sky Blue), which bound MIF at the interface of two MIF trimers covering the tautomerase and allosteric pockets, revealed a unique strategy to block MIF’s pro-inflammatory activities.
