| | Microglia are macrophages in the brain, and Kupffer cells are macrophages in the liver. | | | The process of altering the morphology and functional activity of macrophages so that they become avidly phagocytic. | | | A primary function of a macrophage is to clear foreign substances. |

| | When a macrophage ingests a pathogen, the pathogen becomes trapped in a food vacuole, which then fuses with a lysosome. | | | However, some bacteria, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, have become resistant to these methods of digestion. | | | For example, they participate in the formation of granulomas, inflammatory lesions that may be caused by a large number of diseases. |

| | Phagocytosis |
| | To insure that the organisms not grow and divide within the macrophage, the white cell must kill the organisms by some means such as the OXIDATIVE BURST. | | | This human macrophage, like its cousin the neutrophil, is a professional "phagocyte" or eating cell (phago = "eating", cyte = "cell"). | | | The macrophage is using its internal cytoskeleton to envelop cells of the fungus Candida albicans. |

| | NDI Terminology - macrophage |
| | The morphology of macrophages varies among different tissues and between normal and pathologic states, and not all macrophages can be identified by morphology alone. | | | After passing through the monoblast and promonocyte states of the monocyte stage, they enter the blood, circulating for about 40 hours. | | | Among the cells now recognized as macrophages are histiocytes, Kupffer cells, osteoclasts, microglial cells, synovial type A cells, interdigitating cells, and Langerhans cells (in normal tissues) and epithelioid cells and Langerhans-type and foreign-body-type multinucleated giant cells (in inflamed tissues). |

| | V3-independent determinants of macrophage tropism in a primary human immunodeficiency virus type 1 isolate. |
| | This suggests either that macrophage tropism is defined by structural determinants resulting from complex interactions among multiple env regions rather than V3 sequence-specific requirements or that there are multiple mechanisms by which different strains may establish productive macrophage infection. | | | The state of the art may have changed since the publication date. | | | We recently described a primary isolate (89.6) which is highly macrophage tropic and yet differs from other macrophage-tropic strains studied in that it is cytopathic in T cells. |

| | MicroAngela - Macrophage |
| | These are more cells from our bodies and from plants. | | | Macrophages are white blood cells that crawl around in the extracellular fluids of your body and gobble up microbes and other foreign material. | | | Parts of the cell surround the particle to be eaten, then the macrophage's membrane flows together and the particle ends up inside. |

| | EMDS - European Macrophage and Dendritic Cell Society |
| | The European Macrophage and Dendritic Cell Society (EMDS) has emerged from the activities of the former European Macrophage Study Group (EMSG), a loose association of scientists interested in basic and clinical aspects of monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and other myleoid cells in man and experimental animal models. | | | The annual macrophage conference originated from meetings in the Upper Rhine area organized by scientists from the universities and research centres of Strasbourg, Freiburg and Basel, but rapidly grew up to a European format. | | | The group was constituted in 1992 as a result of a successful series of annual conferences called THE MACROPHAGE. |
