Abstract
Macrophages are a major component of the lymphoreticular infiltrate of experimental and human tumors but their in vivo significance remains to be elucidated (1). Macrophages have diverse functions, including the capacity to interact directly with tumor cells and with lymphoid cells. The results summarized here were aimed at elucidating the tumoricidal and immunomodulatory capacity of diverse human macrophage populations including tumor-associated macrophages.
