[histamine release inhibitory factor] This biochemically uncharacterized factor is a specific antagonist of histamine releasing factors (see also: HRF). It is produced by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (B-cells, T-cells, monocytes) upon stimulation with histamine or mitogens such as Con A. It inhibits HRF induced histamine release from basophils and mast cells (Alam et al, 1989, 1990; Grant et al, 1991).
One particular factor with HRIF activity is IL8 (Kuna et al, 1991).
