Förhållandevis långlivade fagocytiska däggdjursceller som härrör från blodmonocyter. Huvudtyperna utgörs av peritoneala makrofager, alveolarmakrofager, histiocyter, leverns Kupfferceller och osteoklaster. Vid kroniska inflammatoriska förändringar kan de differentiera vidare till epitelioida celler eller smälta ihop till främmande jätteceller eller Langhans-jätteceller.
The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.
