The ability of macrophages to act as accessory cells for the antigen mediated stimulation of T lymphocytes has been unequivocally established in in vitro experiments. However, in vivo experiments are required to investigate whether the in vitro abilities of cells reflect their in vivo function. In order to study whether or not macrophages are required for the induction of antibody production in vivo, a liposome mediated macrophage elimination technique has been developed. Results obtained until now, have confirmed the role of macrophages in the induction of the antibody response against particulate antigens. However, macrophages are not required for the induction of the response against soluble antigens. Contrarily, in various organs they seem to regulate the latter response by suppression.
