- Description: Macrophages are a type of white blood cell which through a process called phagocytosis engulfs and digests cellular debris, foreign substances, microbes, cancer cells. They can be found in all tissues where they play a critical role in the innate immune system and also help initiate adaptive immunity through recruiting lymphocytes and other immune cells. Germinal centres are sites within secondary lymph nodes where mature B lymphocytes proliferate, differentiate and mutate their antibody genes, enabling switching of their class of antibody during the course of infection.
