Breakthrough links macrophages to targeted immune response
City of Hope Medical Center researchers led by Dr. Riojun Kinosita report a macrophage lymphocyte pathway that traps and analyzes foreign material, then uses RNA to instruct lymphocytes to produce specific antibodies. They suggest preconditioning macrophages could enable cancer recognition or reduce organ transplant rejection without drugs.
