Abstract

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease in the central nervous system. The pathological manifestations mainly consist of α-synuclein accumulation, degeneration and death of dopaminergic neurons, and insufficient dopamine secretion. There are many pathophysiological mechanisms leading to these pathological changes. The role of autoimmunity in Parkinson's disease is one of the academic hotspots in recent years. Many types of immune cells actively participate in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease, such as dendritic cells, microglia, T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells, which lead to abnormal immune response in Parkinson's disease patients. Therefore, this paper focuses on reviewing the research progress of immune cells in Parkinson's disease.
