activated macrophage

A mononuclear phagocyte that has been “turned on”—i.e., has enhanced activity by cytokines. Activated macrophages (AMs) are twice the size of resting macrophages and more aggressive (increased lysozymes and surface expression of MHC class-II antigens), and are pivotal in defending a host against microorganisms that grow well within histiocytes/tissue-based macrophages and other cells—e.g., Listeria spp, and Salmonella spp.
