Immune cells communicate in a number of ways, either by cell-to-cell contact or through secreted signaling molecules. Receptors and ligands are fundamental for cellular communication. Receptors are protein structures that may be expressed on the surface of a cell or in intracellular compartments.heir coordinated movement and exchange of signals then instructs other innate immune cells called macrophages and monocytes (in green) to surround the neutrophil cluster and form a tight wound seal.
