Abstract

CD14, CD68 and/or mouse F4/80 or human epidermal growth factor module‐containing mucin‐like receptor 1 (EMR1) are widely used as macrophage‐specific markers. Since macrophages infiltrate several tissues during inflammatory processes, CD14, CD68 and EMR1‐F4/80 have been employed to discriminate between tissue‐containing macrophages, like adipose tissue (AT), and other cells. Using real‐time PCR experiments, we show that isolated adipocytes from humans and mice AT express high levels of CD14 and CD68 mRNA, whereas EMR1‐F4/80 is mainly present in the macrophage‐containing stroma‐vascular fraction. Furthermore, fibroblasts‐like cells (adipoblasts), preadipocytes and adipocytes from the murine cell lines, 3T3‐F442A and BFC‐1, express CD14 and CD68 mRNA and protein as determined by fluorescence‐activated cell sorter, but not F4/80 which, as expected, is strongly expressed in the macrophage cell line RAW264.7. These results reinforce the view that EMR1‐F4/80 is the best macrophage marker to date and show that CD14 and CD68 are not macrophage‐specific proteins.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
