Abstract

The present review illustrates the current knowledge on the autocrine effect of IL-12, and the putative contribution of IL-23, on macrophages and dendritic cells, focusing on cell activation and microbicidal activity. Here, we present convincing evidence that IL-12 is not only a connective element between accessory cells and lymphocytes, but it is also a key molecule for programming the macrophage and dendritic cell functions.
