Macrophages was recognised by Metchnikoff that can be found in all tissues, and as a circulating cell called blood monocytes. Phenotypically and functionally tissue macrophages are an extremely heterogeneous group of cells derived from circulating monocytes. HIV infection macrophages is a critically important component of viral pathogenesis and progression to AIDS. They range in appearance from the dendritic -like microglial cells to the less aborised Kupffer cell. Fortunately, in humans there exists an interacellular membrane marker by which the majority of macrophages can by identified called CD68.
