Studies from Imperial College describe new findings in immunology
Published in Hematology Week, February 5th, 2007
Scientists discuss in "Efficient clearance of opsonised apoptotic cells in the absence of PECAM-1" new findings in immunology. "It is now accepted that the recognition and uptake of apoptotic cells by phagocytes is a complex process involving a large number of opsonins, receptors and ligands, however the relative contribution of all these molecules are still debated. Here we examined the role of CD31 (PECAM-1) in the recognition/uptake of apoptotic thymocytes by murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) in vitro, and by resident peritoneal macrophages in vivo," scientists writing in the journal Molecular Immunology report.
"In the absence of serum, CD31...
