Summary

Mononuclear phagocytes in tumors cannot be reliably identified and quantified using morphological criteria alone. For this reason an alternative method, which depends on functional properties is described: Macrophages and monocytes derived from tumors form rosettes with antibody-coated sheep red blood cells and can thereby easily be detected and differentiated from tumor cells.

Zusammenfassung

Mononucleäre Phagocyten können in Tumoren aufgrund morphologischer Kriterien alleine nicht immer zuverlässig identifiziert werden. Es wird daher eine alternative Methode, die auf funktionellen Eigenschaften beruht, mitgeteilt: Makrophagen und Monocyten bilden mit antikörper-beladenen Erythrozyten vom Schaf Rosetten, die eine klare Differenzierung zwischen Tumorzellen und mononucleären Phagocyten ermöglichen.
