Macrophages are the mature, tissue-resident form of monocytes, which differentiate into macrophages upon migrating from the bloodstream into tissues as described in [1], [2], and [3]. Both cell types are categorized as white blood cells and phagocytes that share functional roles in immune responses, such as cytokine production and the engulfment of pathogens, as evidenced by [4], [5], [6], and [7].

referenceIL-12 is classified as an anti-inflammatory cytokine, is produced by T cells, macrophages, and monocytes, binds to the CD212 receptor, targets NK cells, macrophages, and tumor cells, and functions in activating NK cells, phagocyte cell activation, endotoxic shock, tumor cytotoxicity, and cachexia.
claimIL-6 is produced by monocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells, and upon stimulation, it is secreted by macrophages, T cells, B cells, mast cells, glial cells, eosinophils, keratinocytes, and granulocytes.
claimBinding events at the site of infection increase local levels of IL-1β and IL-8, which recruit macrophages and monocytes to remove apoptotic cell fragments.
claimIL-1β is a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine induced primarily by lymphocytes, macrophages, and monocytes in response to microbial molecules.
claimIL-1Ra is secreted by neutrophils, macrophages, monocytes, and hepatocytes to decrease inflammation.
referenceGM-CSF is classified as an adaptive immunity cytokine, is produced by T cells, macrophages, and fibroblasts, binds to CD116 and CDw131 receptors, targets stem cells, and functions in the growth and differentiation of monocytes and the production of eosinophils and granulocytes.
referenceIL-18 is classified as a pro-inflammatory cytokine, is produced by macrophages, dendritic cells, and epithelial cells, binds to the CD218a (IL-18Ra) receptor, targets monocytes and T cells, and functions in recruiting monocytes and T lymphocytes, synergizing with IL-12 to induce IFN-gamma production, and inhibiting angiogenesis.

claimMonocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils are key immune cells that engulf and digest invading microorganisms through a process known as phagocytosis.
claimMonocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils express surface receptors that identify pattern recognition receptors unique to pathogenic microorganisms but conserved across several families of pathogens.
claimThe vitamin D receptor (VDR) is expressed in several types of immune cells, including monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and activated T cells.
measurementIn a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 46 healthy older adults (ages 55 to 75 years), daily supplementation with 720 mg of EPA and 280 mg of DHA for 12 weeks had no effect on the numbers of neutrophils, monocytes, or macrophages, nor did it affect respiratory burst or the production of cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6.
