Macrophages belong to the mononuclear phagocytic system lineage. This cell type is unique in that it is a crucial player in both the innate and adaptive immune responses. The material described in this overview is a brief description of what I presented as a World's Poultry Science Association-sponsored lecture at the annual meetings of the Poultry Science Association in 2002. Therefore, I have not attempted to present an up-to-date review of literature on this topic. Rather, I have summarized some salient research accomplishments made by our research group over the years in the area of avian macrophage biology and function.
巨噬细胞属于单核吞噬细胞系统谱系。这种细胞类型很独特,因为它在先天性免疫反应和适应性免疫反应中都是关键参与者。本概述中描述的内容是我在2002年家禽科学协会年会上作为世界家禽科学协会主办讲座所展示内容的简要描述。因此,我并未试图对该主题的最新文献进行综述。相反,我总结了多年来我们研究小组在禽类巨噬细胞生物学和功能领域取得的一些显著研究成果。
