Abstract excerpt
Bone marrow derived macrophages (BM-MΦ) that differentiate from precursor cells can be polarized into classically activated pro-inflammatory (M1) or alternatively activated (M2) states depending upon the cytokine microenvironment. We questioned whether tissue MΦ, such as spleen-derived MΦ (Sp-MΦ), have the ability to differentiate into M1 or M2 cells. We show in response to activation with IFN-gamma (IFN-γ) and...
