Abstract
Macrophages are the mature elements of the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) (Langevoort et al., 1970; Van Furth et al., 1972). This system was developed as a result of severe criticism of the original concept of the reticuloendothelial system (Aschoff, 1924) and comprises all cells that show avid phagocytosis. The mononuclear phagocyte concept considers all macrophages to be the recent progeny of bone marrow-derived monocytes, which traverse the circulation en route to various sites of the body, where they are needed in host defense processes.
