Abstract
The ability of mononuclear phagocytes to recognize, ingest, and either digest or remove through various portals of exit from the body a wide variety of infectious agents and toxic materials has been recognized since the seminal observations of Metchnikoff. Mononuclear phagocytes have specialized recognition mechanisms that facilitate these functions, which include (1) several classes of Fc receptors for immune complexes; (2) responsiveness to lymphokines, which serve to enhance their phagocytic and cidal functions; and (3) receptors for complement components, which are either chemotactic or facilitate phagocytosis. During the past decade it became clear that these activities, concerned primarily with the removal of noxious stimuli from the host environment, are accompanied by other specialized functions that have far-reaching effects on the cells and connective tissues present in the pericellular environment of the mononuclear phagocyte. One of these, the ability to present antigenic determinants of ingested materials to cells of the immune system in an immunogenic form (for review, see Rosenthal, 1980), is not discussed here. The other, the ability of mononuclear phagocytes to secrete a diverse range of products, preoccupied many investigators during the past decade.
