Harnessing Macrophages through the Blockage of CD47: Implications for Acute Myeloid Leukemia
CD47 is a surface membrane protein expressed by all normal tissues. It is the so-called “don’t eat me signal” because it protects the cells against phagocytosis. The CD47 interacts with the signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα) on the surface of macrophages, leading to downstream inhibitory signal...
