The Basis for the Immunoregulatory Role of Macrophages and Other Accessory Cells

Unanue, Emil R., Allen, Paul M.·1987·Science

Abstract

Macrophages handle extracellular proteins and secrete diverse bioactive molecules and, therefore, influence the physiology of many tissues. They also have an important immunoregulatory role. The immune response to proteins involves the activation of the T helper subset of lymphocytes. The T helper cell is activated only when it interacts with the protein displayed on the surface of a macrophage or other accessory cell. This interaction involves restrictive proteins encoded in the major histocompatibility gene complex as well as growth-differentiating 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.
