Pulmonary macrophages: key players in the innate defence of the airways.

Thorax - 1 Dec 2015

Byrne Adam J, Mathie Sara A, Gregory Lisa G, Lloyd Clare M

Abstract excerpt

Macrophages are the most numerous immune-cells present in the lung environment under homoeostatic conditions and are ideally positioned to dictate the innate defence of the airways. Pulmonary macrophage populations are heterogeneous and demonstrate remarkable plasticity, owing to variations in origin, tissue residency and environmental influences. Lung macrophage diversity facilitates considerable specialisation,...
