Monocytes and Macrophages
Abstract
MACROPHAGES play a central and essential part in the immune response by presenting antigen to lymphocytes during the development of specific immunity and by serving as supportive, "accessory" cells to lymphocytes, at least partly by releasing soluble factors. Macrophages also carry out the fundamental protective functions of ingesting and killing invading organisms, and as has recently been discovered, they release an enormous number of factors involved in host defense and inflammation. Adding to the excitement of those who study macrophages is the increasing understanding of how these cells can be "activated" pharmacologically to carry out their protective role more effectively. . . .

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.
