MHC1 molecules are in all nucleated cells. MHC2 is in macrophages, does this mean they have no nucleus or they have one. Thanks
sameeralord said:Thanks for the replies So that means if a macrophage becomes infected with a virus, it would show both MHC1 and MHC2 markers.

A macrophage is a type of white blood cell that is responsible for engulfing and destroying foreign particles, such as bacteria and viruses, as well as damaged or dead cells in the body.
Yes, macrophages have a nucleus. Like other cells in the body, macrophages contain a nucleus which contains genetic material and controls the cell's functions.
The nucleus in a macrophage is responsible for controlling the cell's functions, such as protein synthesis, cell division, and gene expression. It also contains the cell's genetic material, which is necessary for the cell to carry out its specific functions.
The nucleus in a macrophage is larger and more complex than that of other cells, as it needs to control the functions of the entire cell. It also contains specific structures, such as nucleoli, which are involved in protein synthesis and gene expression.
No, macrophages are not the only cells with a nucleus. Almost all cells in the human body have a nucleus, with the exception of mature red blood cells. The presence of a nucleus is essential for the proper functioning of a cell.
