Innate immunity at mucosal surfaces requires additional restraint to prevent inflammation to innocuous antigens or commensal microorganisms. The threshold above which airway macrophages become activated is raised by site-specific factors including the receptors for transforming growth factor beta, interleukin 10 and CD200; the ligands for which are produced by, or expressed on, respiratory epithelium. We discuss such site-specific regulation and how this is continually altered by prior infections. Resetting of innate reactivity represents a strategy for limiting excessive inflammation, but in some may pre-dispose to secondary bacterial pneumonia. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
