Monocytes, Macrophages and Dendritic Cells

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the potential role of cells mononuclear phagocyte system in an asthmatic disease. These secrete a large number proinflammatory mediators that contribute to disease process. While this function is not unique these cells, their capacity synthesize quantities products suggests they inflammation. A second function—the present antigen T-lymphocytes—represents primary action monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic asthma. Studies discussed reveal alveolar macrophages show highly specialized antigen-presenting cell phenotype changes play central with glucocorticoids, both vitro vivo, demonstrate complex actions on monocytes highlight importance determining lung homeostasis induction
