Activated T cells produce cytokines that recruit macrophages (tumor necrosis factor [TNF], interleukin 17 [IL-17], chemokines) and others that activate macrophages (interferon gamma [IFN-γ]). Activated macrophages in turn stimulate T cells by present- ing antigens and via cytokines such as IL-12. Prolonged activation of macrophages may lead to the formation of granulomas. cronc nlammaon s a dsnc reacon a does no necessary Te macropages r y o d es roy or wa o   e o e nd  ng age n by oow an acue pase. pro ducng NO, ys os oma  en zy mes , and c y ok  nes  a re c r u more eu ko c yes.
