During inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) intestinal macrophages (IMACs) change to a reactive or 'aggressive' type. After having established a method of isolation and purification of IMACs, message for cathepsin D was one of the mRNAs we found to be up-regulated in a subtractive hybridization of Crohn disease (CD) macrophages versus IMACs from control mucosa,"...
