N2 - The human immune system safeguards against pathogens through a multitude of cellular and molecular signals, involving different components of the innate and adaptive response. Contrastingly, autoimmune diseases, allergic conditions and cancer evoke different aspects of these otherwise protective processes. Understanding the immunological hallmarks for each pathological setting is essential for improving prevention, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. The activatory states of immune effector cells, especially in relation to their direct or indirect interactions with antibodies, are important determinants of an efficient, protective response that results in target clearance and improved clinical outcomes. Dysregulation of effector cells and their functions alongside alternatively activated humoral immune responses may contribute to several chronic diseases including allergic inflammation, autoimmune disorders and cancer. This Review Series brings to the forefront several key activation and regulatory features of immune effector cells in different diseases including cancer, infection allergy and autoimmunity. Specific attention is drawn on how antibodies can impact effector cell states, and their pro-inflammatory and immune protective functions. Articles in this Series discuss different effector cells and antibody isotypes in infection, inflammation, tolerance and cancer immune surveillance, covering basic and translational mechanisms, clinical and epidemiological insights into these immune responses. Understanding the critical attributes of immune cells, especially those needed to effectively engage antibodies, will undoubtedly help better exploit their potential for disease management and therapy.
