Characteristics of CSF-1- and IL-34-derived X. laevis peritoneal macrophages
Effector molecules expressed | Increased effector functions | Proposed function | References | |
---|---|---|---|---|
CSF-1-derived | iNOSa | Phagocytosis, NO production Microbicidal activity | Antibacterial | Grayfer and Robert (2014, 2015) |
IL-34-derived | Arginase-l NADPH oxidase Type I IFNb | ROS production Antiviral activity | Antiviral | Grayfer and Robert (2014, 2015) |
Significantly higher iNOS expression in CSF-1-derived than IL-34-derived adult peritoneal macrophages
Significantly higher Type I IFN gene expression response in tadpole but not adult IL-34- derived peritoneal macrophages compared to respective CSP-derived peritoneal macrophages
