Multinucleated Giant Cells Are Specialized for Complement-Mediated Phagocytosis and Large Target Destruction

Multinucleated giant cells (MGCs) form by fusion of macrophages and are presumed to contribute to the removal of debris from tissues. In a systematic in vitro analysis, we show that IL-4-induced MGCs phagocytosed large and complement-opsonized materials more effectively than their unfused M2 macroph...
