Expression of Allograft Inflammatory Factor-1 in Human Eutopic Endometrium and Endometriosis: Possible Association with Progression of Endometriosis
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jc.2004-0871

Allograft inflammatory factor-1 (AIF-1) is a cytokine originally identified in rat cardiac allografts with chronic rejection. AIF-1 is expressed in various human immune-related tissues and is thought to play a role in inflammatory responses…
