Preferred Label : macrophages;
MeSH definition : The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from
blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES;
KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within
chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY
GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS. (from The Dictionary of Cell Biology, Lackie
and Dow, 3rd ed.);
MeSH synonym : bone marrow-derived macrophages; macrophage; monocyte-derived macrophages; macrophages, monocyte-derived; monocyte derived macrophages; bone marrow derived macrophages; macrophages, bone marrow-derived; bone marrow-derived macrophage; macrophage, bone marrow-derived; macrophage, monocyte-derived; macrophages, monocyte derived; monocyte-derived macrophage;
