Macrophage-1 antigen (or integrin αMβ2) is a complement receptor ("CR3") consisting of CD11b (integrin αM) and CD18 (integrin β2).
Human leukocyte antigen | antigen | Transporter associated with antigen processing | Macrophage migration inhibitory factor | macrophage | prostate-specific antigen | Macrophage | Human Leukocyte Antigen | human leukocyte antigen | Granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor |
In a study conducted by Jürg Gertsch et al. from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich), beta-caryophyllene was shown to be selective agonist of cannabinoid receptor type-2 (antiinflammatory effects in mice.
The molecule is bound to a tumour cell via the tumour antigen CD30 and to a macrophage via an Fc receptor.
Collagens XIII, XVII, and XXV, and related proteins such as class A macrophage scavenger receptors, ectodysplasin A or the MARCO1 receptor, are also part of this group.
In EG cytokines IL-3, IL-5 and granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) may be behind the recruitement and activation.
The granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor is a heterodimer composed of at least two different subunits; an α chain, and a β chain which is also present in the receptors for IL-3 and IL-5.
In 1898, after several years of research, Tadeusz Browicz, a Polish scientist, identified them, correctly, as macrophages.
Macrophage colony-stimulating factor has been shown to interact with PIK3R2.
MΦ (not to be confused with MØ), an abbreviation for Macrophages, cells produced by the differentiation of monocytes in tissues.
