Abstract
Dendritic cells (DC) and macrophages contribute to both the innate and adaptive immune responses. It is becoming clear that DC and macrophages can be derived from common precursors, and that monocytes differentiate into DC under defined experimental conditions. Multiple types of DC and macrophages exist with different functional roles. Both immature DC and macrophages have significant phagocytic ability and are recruited by chemokines and cytokines to inflammatory sites. Upon encountering antigen or inflammatory stimuli, DC and macrophages become activated and responsible for several distinct non-specific and specific immunological functions. Most importantly, different stimuli, i.e. different pathogen-associated molecular patterns trigger different DC outcomes. Thus, the different DC subsets regulate the processing/delivery of antigen and provide a variety of costimulatory surface molecules, soluble cytokines and chemokines. DC are uniquely capable of activating primary immunity. This has driven the use of DC for tumour immunotherapy.
