Does anyone know phenotype markers for M2 macrophages in the rat? There are many antibodies available specifically for mouse (FIZZ, Ym 1/2) but not for rat macrophages (or, at least , I am not aware that there are any of these specific for rats).

Parmis Blomgran

Does anyone know specific pan macrophage marker in rat? I guess that F4/80 is not a good choice for rats??

Why did the authors extrapolate a phenotype that they experimentally proved in one bacterial strain across the whole genus of the organism?

I aim to be as skeptical as possible regarding whether a pair of orthologous genes results in the same phenotype in their different but related bacterial organisms under similar environmental...
