The macrophage checkpoint receptor SIRPα signals against phagocytosis by binding CD47 expressed on all cells - including macrophages. Here, we found that inhibiting <i>cis</i> interactions between SIRPα and CD47 on the same macrophage increased engulfment ('eating') by approximately the same level as inhibiting <i>trans</i> interactions. Antibody blockade of CD47, as pursued in clinical trials against cancer, was applied separately to human-derived macrophages and to red blood cell (RBC) targets ...[more]
