Background: F4/80
Depending on factors such as differentiation, activation, and location, the level of F4/80 expression can vary between cell-types (1,2). For example, peritoneal macrophages are subdivided based on morphology and expression with large peritoneal macrophages having high levels of F4/80 and small peritoneal macrophages having low F4/80 expression (1). Furthermore, splenic macrophages are classified based on location (red pulp, marginal zone, and white pulp) and F4/80 expression level varies within these populations as well; the red pulp macrophages have high levels of F4/80 and CD68 by comparison (1). Originally, the F4/80 monoclonal antibody was generated for a macrophage-specific surface antigen, however F4/80 staining is also observed in other hematopoietic cell populations, thus other immune cell markers should be used in conjunction with F4/80 to distinguish between different populations (1). Though the full extent of F4/80 ligands and biological functions remains elusive, studies have suggested that F4/80 is critical for macrophage-natural killer cell interaction and cytokine release (1,2). Additionally, a study of anterior chamber-associated immune deviation (ACAID) indicated a possible role for F4/80 in the generation of regulatory T cells (1,2).
