Foreword
This comprehensive treatise on the reticuloendothelial system is a project jointly shared by individual members of the Reticuloendothelial (RE) Society and biomedical scientists in general who are interested in the intricate system of cells and molecular moieties derived from those cells which constitute the RES. It may now be more fashionable in some quarters to consider these cells as part of what is called the mononuclear phagocytic system or the lymphoreticular system. Nevertheless, because of historical developments and current interest in the subject by investigators from many diverse areas, it seems advantageous to present in one comprehensive treatise current information and knowledge concerning basic aspects of the RES, such as morphology, biochemistry, phylogeny and ontogeny, physiology, and pharmacology as well as clinical areas including immunopathology, cancer, infectious diseases, allergy, and hypersensitivity. It is anticipated that, by presenting information concerning these apparently heterogeneous topics under the unifying umbrella of the RES, attention will be focused on the similarities as well as interactions among the cell types constituting the RES from the viewpoint of various disciplines. The treatise editors and their editorial board, consisting predominantly of the editors of individual volumes, are extremely grateful for the enthusiastic cooperation and enormous task undertaken by members of the biomedical community in general and especially by members of the American as well as European and Japanese Reticuloendothelial Societies. The assistance, cooperation, and great support from the editorial staff of Plenum Press are also valued greatly. It is hoped that this unique treatise, the first to offer a fully comprehensive treatment of our knowledge concerning the RES, will provide a unified framework for evaluating what is known and what still has to be investigated in this actively growing field. The various volumes of this treatise provide extensive in-depth and integrated information on classical as well as experimental aspects of the RES. It is expected that these volumes will serve as a major reference for day-to-day examination of various subjects dealing with the RES from many different viewpoints.

Preface
All of the immunologic phenomena observed by the end of the 19th century supported the view that they were related to defense mechanisms of the host. This view was, however, being disputed by experimental tests which brought about a short period of confusion. Karl Landsteiner's findings and, especially, the discovery of anaphylaxis by Charles Richet and Paul Portier in 1902 heralded in the very beginning of this century the birth of the domain which we now call Hypersensitivity. This triggered a series of clinical investigations which, not infrequently, generated a number of misconceptions. However, the crescendo of progress that has ensued in the general field of immunology during the last 25 years has brought forth new understanding and pragmatic approaches to the patient with allergic disease. Indeed, one working in the field of immunology senses a major revolution of immunobiologic thinking, much of which has relevance to the area of Hypersensitivity.
In the present volume of this comprehensive treatise on the Reticuloendothelial System (RES) we strive to bring together relevant contributions from experts in the field. The further understanding of those mechanisms that have been elucidated by in vitro experiments and the use of appropriate animal models, has in numerous instances paved the way towards a better interpretation of results from human studies and has reached the point of clinical application.
Dr. Weiss, in the first chapter of this volume, reviews the numerous activities of the hematopoietic system, which include diverse migratory pathways, cell sorting, cell recognition, cell differentiation, and cell functions. These activities require a complex regulation at every level of organization and function. Dr. Zweiman elaborates on the leukocyte-vascular endothelium interactions which are important to the understanding of the circulation of leukocytes and their role in localized immune and inflammatory responses. Drs. Streilein, SteinStreilein, and Head show how the so-called regional spheres of immunologic influence, including the gastrointestinal, skin, lung, and reproductive systems, may prove to be crucial to our understanding of specific types of immune reactions and the pathogenesis of certain human inflammatory disorders. These first three chapters permitted tracing the origin and fate of various constituents of the RES in terms of structural distribution.
Dr. Kukzycki describes the role of the IgE receptor in the release and/or production of mediators from mast cells, and basophils, and Fc receptors of high and lower affinity, and/or less specificity for IgE. Drs. Dessaint and Capron lucidly present their own in vitro experiments on anaphylactic antibody-depen-

dent eosinophil or macrophage cytotoxicity as they relate to receptor-mediated mechanisms of activation. These observations were made not only in human and experimental schistosomiasis, but also in several models of experimental filariasis. Confirmation was obtained by the direct evidence of the in vivo relevance of anaphylactic antibodies complexed to parasite antigens. They show how the interaction of phagocytic cells (e.g., macrophages and eosinophils) with anaphylactic antibodies in human defense against helminth parasites, reveals that anaphylactic antibodies in the form of immune complexes, besides their well-known function in immediate hypersensitivity, can also have an alternate function in protective immunity. Dr. Simon recounts the multiplicity of immunologic abnormalities associated with specific human allergic diseases and their relation to mediators of immediate hypersensitivity. Dr. Kazatchkine and Nydegger expand the concept of immune complexes and other effector components through an examination of mechanisms of complement activation. These authors discuss effector events both in the circulation and at the site of the tissue lesion. Dr. Kazura addresses another aspect of effector function, effector cells and antibody classes participating in antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity reactions (ADCC) and potential clinical applications. Drs. Cohen, Gutowski, and Cohen discuss the multiple biological properties of the inflammatory lymphokines both in vitro and in vivo. Drs. Edwards, Ewan, and Rickles highlight the importance of coagulation in inflammation with particular reference to monocyte/macrophage pro coagulants (PCA's) and their regulation. This regulation is dependent upon a complex network of interacting pathways. Dr. Bach reviews the areas of active research involving the leukotrienes and their role in human disease. Drs. Galli and Askenase focus on the current understanding of the mechanisms regulating the cutaneous basophil hypersensitivity (CBH) and other delayed onset reactions containing large numbers of basophils. In this connection, they present a valid argument for the need to reassess the nomenclature of CBH.
The topics which we have introduced above have dealt mainly with the cellular components and the specific release of mediators of hypersensitivity reactions, their distribution, role and mechanisms of action, as well as their interactions. The last two chapters address some of the biochemical consequences of these interactions. Drs. Clayman, Goldstein, and Neilson review the role which immunogenetics, the RES, and the cellular influence on the development of antigen-recognition and immunoregulation have in renal injury. They consider events associated with responses to antigens of both renal and nonrenal origin. Finally, Drs. Mitchell and Wood deal with the extracellular macrophage-related events in the immunology of parasitism. They emphasize the role of the macrophage in, or from, parasitized hosts as a regulator of antiparasite immune responses and as an effector cell of host resistance involving mediator release. They present their studies pertaining to the immunoregulatory role of parasitized macrophages in murine cutaneous leishmaniasis and examine the role of macrophage products in the control of infection with plasmodia and related intraerythrocytic protozoa.
In creating this volume we realized that the subject matter was somewhat

arbitrary and could not be all-inclusive. We are most grateful to all the authors for their enthusiastic response to our request to review current knowledge on the general or specific aspects of the RES and Hypersensitivity.
We owe a very special debt of gratitude to Dr. Peter Abramoff who, more than anyone else, was instrumental in the initial formulation of the concepts and selection of the contributors for this volume. The expert and generous assistance given to us by Mr. Kirk Jensen from Plenum Publishing Corporation and Ms. Charlotte Phillips from the Medical College of Virginia are sincerely appreciated.
