Recently, we have shown that macrophage uptake of low density lipoprotein (LDL) and
cholesterol accumulation can occur by nonreceptor mediated fluid-phase macropinocytosis
when macrophages are differentiated from human monocytes in human serum and the
macrophages are activated by stimulation of protein kinase C (Kruth, HS, Jones, NL, Huang,
W., Zhao, B., Ishii, I., Chang, J., Combs, CA, Malide, D., and Zhang, WY (2005) J. Biol. Chem.
