Neutrophils are instrumental in innate immunity by mediating immediate removal of pathogens. Recent findings demonstrate that they are able to communicate with dendritic cells, which form a link between innate and adaptive immunity by stimulating long-term memory T cell responses. This communication occurs through the cell-surface receptors Mac-1 and carcinoembryonic antigen-related cellular adhesion molecule on neutrophils, which interact with C-type lectins such as dendritic cell-specific ICAM-3 grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN). Clearly, dendritic cells can prolong the lifespan of neutrophils, whereas neutrophils could direct dendritic cell-mediated T cell responses.
