Can the antibody alone trigger the FcR-mediated effects in macrophages?

In some models of macrophage activation it can be triggered by the binding of immune complexes to Fc receptors. But in reality free antibodies can also bind FcRs (that's why we use the Fc block in...

Why are my macrophages positive for both CCR7 and CD206?

I have stained mouse BM with F4/80, CD11b, MHCII, CD206 and CCR7. Cells were Fc-blocked. When gated on F4/80_hi/CD11b_med-hi, I see a population that is CCR7+/CD206+ double positive (see...
