These cells are characterized by their ability
to release large amounts of proinflammatory cytokines (such as IL-12,
IL-23 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)), reactive nitrogen intermediates
and reactive oxygen intermediates, higher expression of
major histocompatibility complex class II and costimulatory molecules, efficient
antigen presentation, and microbicidal or tumoricidal activity.
M1 macrophages are part of a polarized TH1 response and mediate resistance
to intracellular pathogens and tumors and elicit tissue-disruptive reaction.

Classical activation of macrophages (M1) induces macrophage
tumoricidal activity

The M1 form of tumor-associated macrophages in tumor
is positively associated with survival time.

M1 (classical) activation require both IFNG and TNF. TLR ligand acting in a MyD88-dependent manner will induce the transcription of TNF,
which can then cooperate with IFN??in an autocrine manner to activate this macrophage population??

Activated monocytes bound to a monolayer of tumor cells more
than resting mononuclear phagocytes.
