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.
