Regulation of the Immune Response — Role of the Macrophage

Rosenthal, Alan S.·1980·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

MACROPHAGES facilitate a variety of thymus-dependent immunologic phenomena in human beings and laboratory animals; thus, these cells are essential for the development of cellular and humoral immunocompetence.1 ,1a Their role in T-cell and B-cell function is shown schematically in Figure 1. Macrophages serve at least four distinct but interlocking functions in host defense. First of all, the induction of T-lymphocyte proliferation requires the physical association of the T cells with macrophages bearing antigen.1b Secondly, the macrophage is a principal site of control by the immune-response gene.2 Thirdly, macrophages have several plasma-membrane receptors, such as those for the Fc portion of IgG, that . . .

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.
