In addition, it has been shown that HSP60 has the capability "of activating monocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells.

The T cell activated macrophages engulf erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets, as well as their progenitor cells.

In spite of a spectrum of ways to activate macrophages, historically they have been classfied into two main groups designated M1 and M2.

He said the drug activates monocytes and macrophages, which are defensive white blood cells.

It is found on mature B cells, activated macrophages, eosinophils, follicular dendritic cells, and platelets.

The key association between interferon-γ and granulomas is that interferon-γ activates macrophages so that they become more powerful in killing intracellular organisms.

It reaches pathological levels in response to inflammation in the brain which activates resident microglia and macrophages.

Rather, they appear to activate macrophages through Fc receptor and perhaps complement binding.

These are inflammatory markers that non-specifically activate local macrophages causing tissue damage.

It activates natural killer cells which produce IFN-γ to activate macrophages.
