Regulation of the Immune Response by Eicosanoid Acids

  • Chapter
Prostaglandins and Immunity

Part of the book series: Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes, and Cancer ((PLAC,volume 4))

Abstract

Oxygenated arachidonic acid derivatives are metabolites that issue from both the cyclooxygenase and the lipoxygenase pathways and act as important local immunoregulators. The cyclooxygenase products, especially the prostaglandins (PGs), are being thoroughly investigated with regard to their role in the immune response. Inhibition of lymphocyte activity is the main function of prostaglandins as immunoregulators, and PGE2 may be viewed as a macrophage messenger for an inhibitory signal to lymphocytes (1). It is likely that PGE2 is a biological mediator of a physiologic negative feedback mechanism following stimulation by antigens (2).
