  Figure.1: FACS analysis of BOSC23 cells using ME-6D1. BOSC23 cells were transiently transfected with anexpression vector encoding either MIC-1 (red curve) or anirrelevant protein (Control transfectant: black curve). Binding of ME-6D1 was detected with a PE-conjugated secondary antibody. A positive signal was obtained only with MIC-1 trans-fected cells.

• Background: Macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 (MIC-1) is a member of the transforming growth factor-ß superfamily that regulates a wide variety of physiological processes involved in tissue differentiation and maintenance (1). MIC-1 is synthesized as a 62-kDa intracellular protein, which, after cleavage by a furin like protease, is secreted as a 25-kDa disulphide-linked dimeric protein. Expression of MIC-1 results in inhibition of macrophage activation, regulated by the p53 pathway, in response to pro-inflammatory monokines (1,2). MIC-1 is involved in tumour pathogenesis and its measurement can be used as a clinical tool for the diagnosis of a wide range of cancers. It could be a useful marker for aggressive prostate cancer while MIC-1 is upregulated in advanced and more aggressive prostatic tumours (3).
