Alveolar macrophages of GM-CSF knockout mice exhibit mixed M1 and M2 phenotypes [PDF]
Background Activin A is a pleiotrophic regulatory cytokine, the ablation of which is neonatal lethal. Healthy human alveolar macrophages (AMs) constitutively express activin A, but AMs of patients with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) are ...

Alveolar macrophages develop from fetal monocytes that differentiate into long-lived cells in the first week of life via GM-CSF [PDF]
Tissue-resident macrophages can develop from circulating adult monocytes or from primitive yolk sac-derived macrophages. The precise ontogeny of alveolar macrophages (AMFs) is unknown. By performing BrdU labeling and parabiosis experiments in adult mice,

Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis in an AIDS Patient without Concurrent Pulmonary Infection
Patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) are potentially at increased risk for developing secondary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis because of underlying immunosuppression and frequent opportunistic lung infections. This condition. however,
