Abstract excerpt
The Arp2/3 complex nucleates branched actin, forming networks involved in lamellipodial protrusion, phagocytosis, and cell adhesion. We derived primary bone marrow macrophages lacking Arp2/3 complex (Arpc2-/-) and directly tested its role in macrophage functions. Despite protrusion and actin assembly defects, Arpc2-/- macrophages competently phagocytose via FcR and chemotax toward CSF and CX3CL1. However, CR3...
