Macrophages are widely distributed throughout the body, performing vital
homeostatic and defense functions after local and systemic perturbation within
tissues. In concert with closely related dendritic cells and other myeloid and
lymphoid cells, which mediate the innate and adaptive immune response,
macrophages determine the outcome of the inflammatory and repair processes that
accompany sterile and infectious injury and microbial invasion. This article will
describe and compare the role of specialized macrophage populations at two
critical interfaces between the resident host lymphohematopoietic system and
circulating blood and lymph, the carriers of cells, humoral components,
microorganisms, and their products. Sinusoidal macrophages in the marginal zone
of the spleen and subcapsular sinus and medulla of secondary lymph nodes
contribute to the innate and adaptive responses of the host in health and
disease. Although historically recognized as major constituents of the
reticuloendothelial system, it has only recently become apparent that these
specialized macrophages in close proximity to B and T lymphocytes play an
indispensable role in recognition and responses to exogenous and endogenous
ligands, thus shaping the nature and quality of immunity and inflammation. We
review current understanding of these macrophages and identify gaps in our
knowledge for further investigation.
