Human alveolar macrophages predominately express combined classical M1 and M2 surface markers in steady state
Abstract Alveolar macrophages (AM) are critical to the homeostasis of the inflammatory environment in the lung. Differential expression of surface markers classifies macrophages to either classically (M1) or alternatively activated (M2). We investigated the phenotype of human alveolar macrophages (A...
