[tingible body macrophage]
abbr. TBM cells. tingible body macrophages are unique, large phagocytic cells that reside in germinal centers of secondary lymphoid tissues in close proximity to antigen-retaining follicular dendritic cells (Flemming, 1885). This cell type contains many phagocytized, apoptotic cells (referred to as tingible bodies) (Flemming, 1885) in various states of degradation (Swartzendruber and Congdon, 1963; Tabe et al, 1996). These cells have been referred to as type 1 phagocytes by Kotani et al (1977).
Tingible body macrophages also act as regulatory cells and endocytose immune-complex coated bodies derived from dendritic cells
