Dak Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 why, oh why, do macrophages posess CD4 molecules, and why, oh why, do no immunological text books contain the reason that macrophages posess CD4 molecules? i know that CD4 recognises MHC-II molecules, but i cant figure why macrophages would need to do this, unless its to prevent them from attempting to phagocytose other antigen-presenting cells (which would posess MHC-II)?
