Abstract
Macrophages have a surface PS-scavenger receptor which recognizes PS and stimulates uptake into the cell. Uptake of PS by macrophages greatly increases the synthesis and secretion of a variety of proteins, particularly low molecular weight proteins. These secretory products could contribute to the pharmacological actions of PS.
