Phagocytes – cells of nonspecific and specific resistance

SUMMARY

The analysis of the functional activity of neutrophils and macrophages has been conducted. It is shown that being effectors of natural resistance in the immune system their functions are different. Neutrophils are a kind of helpers for macrophages, enhancing their phagocytic, antigen presenting and immunoregulatory functions.
