The Macrophage as an Effector Cell

Nathan, Carl F., Murray, Henry W., Cohn, Zanvil A.·1980·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

IT has only been a decade since the "mononuclear phagocyte system" was defined, linking monoblasts, promonocytes, monocytes, and the structurally heterogeneous tissue macrophages. Cells of this lineage develop over several days in the marrow, emigrate from the blood within hours to days, and survive for months in the tissues, where they are involved in important homeostatic mechanisms as well as diverse pathologic events. For 70 years, investigators followed the lead of Metchnikoff, focusing on phagocytosis and the intracellular digestion of particles by macrophages. In the past few years, it has emerged that the macrophage is also a secretory cell. Through . . .

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.
