## Abstract Interleukin‐4 (IL‐4) was previously shown to induce extensive macrophage fusion to form foreign‐body giant cells (FBGCs) __in vitro__. In the present study, our goal was to extend these findings to an __in vivo__ test environment on biomaterials. The subcutaneous cage‐implant system was

## Abstract Multinucleated giant cells (GCs) are often observed in the foreign body reaction against implanted materials. The __in vivo__ function of GCs in this inflammatory process remains to be elucidated. GCs degrade collagen implants in rats and may also orchestrate the inflammatory process vi
