M2 macrophages show greater efferocytic capacity compared to unpolarized M0 macrophages.
Anaphylatoxin C3a inhibits the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells while not affecting the phagocytosis of dead bacteria.
Experiments utilized flow cytometry and confocal microscopy for assessing phagocytosis and efferocytosis.
C3a appears to reduce expression of the Tyro3 receptor gene in both M0 and M2 macrophages.
