Abhishek Bhattacherjee et al. investigate the functional differences between human and mouse CD33, an immunomodulatory receptor linked to Alzheimer’s disease. They find that loss of mouse CD33 does not affect cargo uptake in macrophages in contrast to human CD33, which represses phagocytosis when expressed in cells or mice.
