[Interactions of neuromediators and neurohormones on dendritic cells, monocytes and macrophages (out of the central nervous system)].
Immune cells are modulated by neurotransmitters and hormones. Apart Langerhans cells, studies about dendritic cells and these peptides are very rare. But their effects on monocytes or macrophages are known. Substance P, VIP, CGRP, prolactin, ACTH are among the most important. These effects are supported by an anatomical reality: connexions between nerve and immune cells. Immune cells are capable to product neuromediators and hormones. Neuroimmunology is probably the next great subject of research about dendritic cells.
