Correlation between the levels of MIF and endotoxin (a), IL-1β (b), TNF-α (c), and RANTES (d) in MEEs in adult cases. Concentrations of MIF, endotoxin, IL-1β, and TNF-α were divided by the concentration of total protein of each sample for standardization. The level of MIF showed significant correlation with the levels of endotoxin, IL-1β, TNF-α, and RANTES.
