The article presents the modern data on the most important component of natural immunity – cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system. The questions of origin, the spectrum of expressed markers of differentiation, the classification of monocytes (classical, intermediate, non-classical), macrophages (pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory) and dendritic cells (myeloid, plasmacytoid), their immunobiological functions, their role in humoral and T-cell immune responses, anergy and tolerance are considered. The possibility of obtaining cellular immunobiological products (adjuvant and tolerogenic) for immunotherapy of oncological, infectious and autoimmune diseases on their basis is analyzed.

The paucity of lymph node T cells (plt) mutation leads to a loss of CCL21 and CCL19 expression in secondary lymphoid organs. plt mice have defects in the migration of naive T cells and activated dendritic cells into the T cell zones of lymphoid organs, suggesting that they would have defects in T cell immune responses. We now demonstrate T cell responses in plt mice are delayed but ultimately enhanced. Responses to contact sensitization are decreased at day 2 after priming but increased at day 6. After subcutaneous immunization, antigen-specific T cell proliferation and cytokine production in plt mice are increased and remain markedly elevated for at least 8 wk. Compared with wild-type mice, a proportion of T cell response in plt mice are shifted to the spleen, and prior splenectomy reduces the T cell response in draining lymph nodes. After immunization of plt mice, T cells and dendritic cells colocalize in the superficial cortex of lymph nodes and in splenic bridging channels, but not in T cell zones. These results demonstrate that plt mice mount robust T cell responses despite the failure of naive T cells and activated dendritic cells to enter the thymus dependent areas of secondary lymphoid organs.

We previously reported the application of the aryloxy triester phosphoramidate prodrug technology to the phosphoantigen (E)-4-hydroxybut-2-enyl phosphate (HMBP). Although these prodrugs exhibited potent activation of Vγ9/Vδ2 T‐cell immune responses, their stability was low due to the rapid cleavage of the -O-P- bond. To address this, we herein report the application of the same prodrug strategy to two HMBP phosphonates, which have stable -CH2-P- or -CF2-P- bonds. These HMBP phosphonate prodrugs, phosphonamidates, exhibited excellent serum stability and potent activation of Vgama9/Vdelta2 T‐cells making them attractive compounds for further development as potential immunotherapeutics.
