Macrophages and other phagocytes are found in the following locations in the body:
Main location | Types of phagocytes |
Skin * | macrophages, resident Langerhans cells, dendritic cells, mast cells |
Gut and intestinal Peyer’s patches * | macrophages |
Lungs * | macrophages, monocytes, mast cells, dendritic cells |
Blood | neutrophils, monocytes |
Bone marrow | macrophages, monocytes, sinusoidal cells, lining cells |
Connective tissue | macrophages, monocytes, dendritic cells, histiocytes |
Lymphoid tissue | macrophages, monocytes, dendritic cells |
Spleen | macrophages, monocytes, sinusoidal cells |
Thymus | macrophages, monocytes |
* These locations offer the best sites for GcMAF administration. The skin by subcutaneous (SC) or intramuscular (IM) injection, the gut by oral administration and the lungs by inhalation using a nebulizer (such as Omron NE-U22V Portable Nebulizer).
