Hoping someone could clear up a concept for me:
1) neutrophils/monocytes have NADPH oxidase system for respiratory burst and have myleoperoxidase to form HOCl
2) Macrophages lack both of these systems but instead use a nitric oxide system to kill.
3) with IGF-gamma stimulation the sequence of macrophage development goes from monocyte to macrophage to epitheloid-like to giant cell?
Are these statements all correct? Thanks in advance.
