	NDI Terminology - macrophage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The morphology of macrophages varies among different tissues and between normal and pathologic states, and not all macrophages can be identified by morphology alone.
		However, most macrophages are large cells with a round or indented nucleus, a well-developed Golgi apparatus, abundant endocytotic vacuoles, lysosomes, and phagolysosomes, and a plasma membrane covered with ruffles or microvilli.
		Among the cells now recognized as macrophages are histiocytes, Kupffer cells, osteoclasts, microglial cells, synovial type A cells, interdigitating cells, and Langerhans cells (in normal tissues) and epithelioid cells and Langerhans-type and foreign-body-type multinucleated giant cells (in inflamed tissues).

	Macrophage Encyclopedia Article @ XXXL.com
		The attraction of wandering macrophages to a damaged site occurs through chemotaxis, triggered by a number of things, depending on circumstances; primarily, damaged cells and pathogens release chemical substances to which macrophages are attracted, mast cells and basophils release histamine and macrophages already at the site release cytokines to attract more of its kind.
		When a macrophage ingests a pathogen, the pathogen becomes trapped in a food vacuole, which then fuses with a lysosome.
		The presentation is done by integrating it into the cell membrane by displaying it attached to a MHC class II molecule, indicating to other white blood cells that the macrophage is not a pathogen, despite having antigens on its surface.

	Phagocytosis
		This human macrophage, like its cousin the neutrophil, is a professional "phagocyte" or eating cell (phago = "eating", cyte = "cell").
		The macrophage is using its internal cytoskeleton to envelop cells of the fungus Candida albicans.
		To insure that the organisms not grow and divide within the macrophage, the white cell must kill the organisms by some means such as the OXIDATIVE BURST.

	EMDS - European Macrophage and Dendritic Cell Society
		The European Macrophage and Dendritic Cell Society (EMDS) has emerged from the activities of the former European Macrophage Study Group (EMSG), a loose association of scientists interested in basic and clinical aspects of monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and other myleoid cells in man and experimental animal models.
		The annual macrophage conference originated from meetings in the Upper Rhine area organized by scientists from the universities and research centres of Strasbourg, Freiburg and Basel, but rapidly grew up to a European format.
		At the end of year 2000, the members of the EMS decided to rename the society as European Macrophage and Dendritic Cell Society (EMDS) in order to better emphasize the two main streams of research within the Society.

	V3-independent determinants of macrophage tropism in a primary human immunodeficiency virus type 1 isolate.
		We recently described a primary isolate (89.6) which is highly macrophage tropic and yet differs from other macrophage-tropic strains studied in that it is cytopathic in T cells.
		This suggests either that macrophage tropism is defined by structural determinants resulting from complex interactions among multiple env regions rather than V3 sequence-specific requirements or that there are multiple mechanisms by which different strains may establish productive macrophage infection.
		In addition, because the HXB V3 loop supports productive macrophage infection in the background of 89.6, phenotypic characterization of V3 sequences should be considered specific to the viral context in which they are placed.
