Abstract
An inherent heterogeneity of bone marrow macrophage precursor cells was suggested. The possible relationship of this heterogeneity with the functional heterogeneity of blood monocytes and tissue macrophages under normal conditions and at an inflammatory site is discussed. A hypothesis suggesting that the bone marrow compartment is involved in the generation of macrophage heterogeneity is presented.This publication has 44 references indexed in Scilit:
