The Effects of Endotoxin on Macrophages and T-Lymphocytes

  • Chapter
Immunomodulation by Bacteria and Their Products

Abstract

The immune response is generated by a complex series of interactions between three major lymphoreticular cell types, macrophages and B and T lymphocytes (Fig. 1). This response is initiated by the interaction of an external stimulus, such as an antigen or mitogen, with each of all of these cells. The initial stimulation also results in the production of a number of soluble intercellular messengers i.e., lymphokines or monokines, that act within the system to produce a marked amplification of the response.
