title: Macrophages in tissues and in vitro.
abstract: Macrophages have specialized functions in different tissue microenvironments such as lymphohaemopoietic organs and the nervous system. Recently, progress has been made in defining cellular and molecular properties of isolated and tissue macrophages in the developing and adult animal.
