The Evolving Roles of Macrophages in Organ Transplantation by Junhui Li, Cai Li, Quan Zhuang, Bo Peng, Yi Zhu, Qifa Ye, Yingzi Ming

“…However, emerging evidence suggests macrophages as crucial mediators of acute and chronic allograft immunopathology. In this process, macrophage-mediated mobilization of first-line defenses, particularly phagocytosis and the release of acute inflammatory mediators, is important, but macrophages also launch adaptive alloimmune reactions against grafts through antigen processing and presentation, as well as providing costimulation. …”
