Contrasting functional responses of resident Kupffer cells and recruited liver macrophages to irradiation and liver X receptor stimulation.

In the murine liver, there are two major macrophage populations, namely resident Kupffer cells (resKCs) with phagocytic activity and recruited macrophages (recMφs) with cytokine-producing capacity. This study was performed to clarify the functional differences between these two populations, focusing...
