Macrophage presence in rat cell line?

Hello All,

We have been testing a rat cell line for phagocytosis.  Although the
particular cell line is not known to be related to macrophages, we suspect
their presence due to possible phagocytosis taking place.  Can anyone
suggest the best way to detect rat macrophage presence?  I'd rather not go
the biotin/streptavidin route that was suggested to me originally by a
vendor.

Thanks in advance for any insight.
