Phagocytosis is a critical host defense mechanism that clears invading pathogens, apoptotic cells, and cell debris; it is an essential process for normal development, tissue remodeling, immune response, and inflammation. Here, a functional selection strategy was used to isolate novel phagocytosis-promoting genes. After the retroviral transfer of mouse brain cDNA ... More
