NOS2, a heme-containing enzyme
that catalyzes the synthesis of NO and citrulline from l‐Arg, is
expressed by various cells of the immune system, and its activa-
tion is considered a hallmark of classically activated macrophages
(also known as M1 macrophages), a macrophage subset that pro-
duces proinflammatory cytokines and acts as the effector cell in
the killing of invading pathogens and tumor cells.

MIF inhitits expression of M1 markers such as TNF, IL12p40, COX2, INOS, IRF-5, MHC-II, CD11c, CD80, CD86 and MIF induces expression of M2 markers as IL10, stabilin-1, MRC-1, CD206, CD23
