Markers for suppressor macrophages?

Dear colleagues,

I am to quantify the numbers of suppressor macrophages within several mouse tissues,
esp. liver.
Unfortunately the literature seems to give rather fluffy and sometimes contradictory
informations regarding phenotypic markers for suppressor-populations of macrophages
(e.g. "FcgammaRII/III high" opposing "no FcgammaRII/III at all but FcepsilonR" and so
on...)
Does anyone have suggestions which markers to use to identify suppressor macrophages??

Thanks in advance,

and to all of you a nice and enjoyable weekend :-)
