Identify ways in which intestinal macrophages are (A) similar to and (B) different from macrophages in non-mucosal tissues
What will be an ideal response?
A. Intestinal macrophages recognize, phagocytose, and kill microorganisms that have breached the epithelial surface, and eliminate cells dying by apoptosis.
B. Intestinal macrophages, unlike non-mucosal macrophages, do not create or sustain a state of inflammation. They do not produce inflammatory cytokines, induce a respiratory burst, express B7 co-stimulators, or secrete cytokines needed for T-cell activation. Intestinal macrophages also have a shorter life-span than systemic macrophages.
