摘要
Macrophages are often present in tumours, display considerable heterogeneity in phenotype, and contribute trophic, tumour-promoting functions that favour clonal emergence, growth and spread of malignant cells, as well as contributing to host tolerance and stromal reactions. Membrane glycoproteins provide antigenic markers, serve as receptors for tumour-derived ligands, and regulate macrophage-tumour interactions. We review selected aspects of macrophage phenotypic heterogeneity, with special reference to novel markers such as the EGF-TM7 family of myeloid differentiation antigens. Improved characterisation of macrophage plasticity may make it possible to manipulate macrophage effector functions to the advantage of the host.
