The liver being the organ continuously exposed to various antigens, coming by way of blood around the body has developed mechanisms to ensure its protection immune response. This organ is rich in immune cells, which in addition to the action themselves, secretes numbers of pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines, and non-immune cells with immune functions, which also take part in the defense of the liver. Moreover, the hepatocytes, are also capable of modulating the immune response through the production of complement components and expression of TLR receptors.
