0 a large white blood cell in the immune system that destroys bacteria and other harmful substances --
Moreover, the activity of macrophages is likely to be severely restricted in rapidly cooling and clotting blood.
The levels of inhibition were reduced by 11-14 days and macrophages harvested 20-30 days after infection had little or no inhibitory effect.
In macrophages, cytokine-induced transcription factor binding might enhance virus replication under unconstrained pro-inflammatory conditions.
We postulated that the macrophages that invade the pregnant uterus at term may arise from the fetus.
However, in spleen as well as in kidney of all chub the ratio of spores to macrophages did not exceed 1 : 1.
Staining was also observed in the lower layer, mainly in irregularly shaped leucocyte-like cells, identified as macrophages, and small regularly shaped lymphocytes.
These results suggest the possibility that the invasive cells are immunohistochemically macrophages.
In the invasive cells, immunoreactivity against reportedly macrophage-specific antibodies was clearly identified.
