Macrophages are a subtype of monocytes (white blood cells) along with dendritic cells and foam cells. Macrophages basically eat anything that does not bear the mark of a healthy cell: damaged cells, debris, foreign matter, cells infected with viruses, parasites or bacteria and cancer cells. This...

Antibodies are produced by: a) erythrocytes. b) T-lymphocytes. c) the liver. d) macrophages. e) plasma cells. What are the chemicals released by monocytes and lymphocytes to help coordinate the immune responses? Which of the following ...
aFifty-four CHB patients and 31 liver cirrhosis (LC) patients were consecutively collected, as well as 11 healthy subjects as controls. Expression levels of IFNAR1 and IFNAR2 in peripheral blood lymphocytes and monocytes were measured by flow cytometry. IFNAR1 and IFNAR2c mRNA were detected by...
If staining methods of adequate sensitivity are used, these receptors can be demonstrated on lymphocytes and monocytes taken directly from blood, without the need for in vitro acti- vation. However, activation increases the expression of some of these receptors, in some cases dramatically. This ...
The proportion of residual CD14+ monocytes and CD19+ B cells was <1%. Immunohistochemistry, double labeling immunofluorescence microscopy, and flow cytometry Immunohistochemistry was performed as described previously (Heider et al. 1993;Koopmann et al. 1993). Briefly, 8 μm cryosections were fixed ...
aNearly all cells of the immune system express the VDR including monocytes, macrophages, DCs, neutrophils, activated CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes as well as activated B lymphocytes. 几乎免疫系统的所有细胞表达VDR包括单核细胞、巨噬细胞、DCs、嗜中性,被激活的CD4+和CD8+ T淋巴细胞并且被激活的B淋巴细...
The LP compartment from day 4-infected mice was a heterogeneous mix of B cells, CD4+, and CD8+ T cells, dendritic cells, monocytes/macrophages, and a small number of neutrophils (Supplementary Figure S2A online). In accord- ance with other studies in which T. gondii induced a collapse ...
A number of data, however, provide evidence that the brain is invaded by peripherally derived monocytes54, possibly being transported in the CNS by the very recently described lymphatic vessels that vascularize the brain55. Thus, B cells are commonly found in MS lesions56–58 and are probably ...
IFN-γ is the most potent stimulator for monocytes/macrophages. Excessive release of this cytokine will undoubtedly lead to monocyte/macrophage activation with concomitant production of pro-inflammatory mediators, including IL-6. Such an acute phase response in UA patients could be regarded as a ...
