A type of these cells that localize to the subcapsular sinus express the antigen F4/80 in mice and express CD169 on their surface, and in germinal centers these cells can take on a "tingible body" appearance.
A type of these cells that localize to the subcapsular sinus express the antigen F4/80 in mice and express CD169 on their surface, and in germinal centers these cells can take on a "tingible body" appearance. Like helper T cells, these cells exhibit a form of polarization in which they can be either classically or alternatively activated. In Gaucher's disease, these cells take on a tissue-paper appearance, and using scavenger receptors they can take up oxidized (*) LDL to become foam cells. These cells, like dendritic cells, differentiate from monocytes, and like dendritic cells and B cells they can use MHC II to present antigens on their surface. For 10 points, name these leukocytes responsible for phagocytosis of debris and foreign antigens, with a name meaning "big eaters".
