Macrophages Flashcards
Lung macrophage
alveolar macrophage
What do M1 macrophages produce
IL-1, Il-12, Il-23
What are the minority monocytes?
Patrolling. They roll around blood vessels surveying for damage. They express FcyRIII.
How do macrophages interact with T cells?
Through their CD40 receptor. T cells have the receptor (CD40L).
What stimulates the growth of new monocytes in the bone marrow?
IL-3 and GM-CSF.
brain macrophage
microglial cells
What factor recruits monocytes from the blood?
CCL2 induced by TH1 T cell signaling (Producted of TNFa) binds to CCR2 on the monocyte. They will follow the gradient from bone marrow to the site of infection
What are the factors that make M2 macrophages?
IL-4 and IL-13
What do M2 macrophages produce?
IL-10 and TGF-b
What are the majority of monocytes and what is its marker?
Classical monocytes. They express CD14 and flow freely in blood
liver macrophage
kuppfer cells
What are the factors that make M1 macrophages?
TLR signaling, IFN-gamma
