To examine the recent literature on the role of innate cells in immunity to transplanted tissue. It specifically addresses the impact of monocytes/macrophages, neutrophils, natural killer cells, and platelets.
Current research indicates that innate immunity plays a dual role in response to transplanted tissue with the ability to either facilitate rejection or promote tolerance. Intriguingly, some of these cells are even capable of reacting to allogeneic cells, a feature usually only attributed to cells of the adaptive immune system.
This review highlights the new therapeutic targets in the innate immune system that may be useful in the treatment of transplant recipients. It also emphasizes the need to use caution in exploring these new therapeutics.
探讨固有细胞在移植组织免疫中的作用的最新文献。它特别涉及单核细胞/巨噬细胞、中性粒细胞、自然杀伤细胞和血小板的作用。
目前的研究表明,固有免疫在对移植组织的反应中起双重作用,既能促进排斥反应,也能促进耐受。有趣的是,其中一些细胞甚至能够对同种异体细胞产生反应,而这种特性通常只归因于适应性免疫系统的细胞。
本综述强调了固有免疫系统中的新治疗靶点,这可能对移植受者的治疗有用。它还强调了在探索这些新疗法时需要谨慎。
