Abstract excerpt
We have attempted to address the requirements necessary for alveolar macrophage accessory cell function. We have also examined the in vitro and in vivo factors that must be taken into account when interpreting results from experimental studies. Differences in phenotypic expression by rat alveolar pleural and peritoneal macrophages are noted, as well as the differing expression of major histocompatibility complex...
