Abstract

The immune system is fundamentally divided into the innate and adaptive arms, predominantly represented by the myeloid and lymphoid lineages, respectively, and largely derived from bone marrow progenitors. This simplistic classification belies an intricate circuitry in which the innate and adaptive cells communicate, stimulate, and regulate each other throughout the course of every immune response. Hence, in every respect myeloid cell populations are instrumental to successful defense against parasitic infections.
