Among their effects related to the immune response, statins can alter the morphology and motility of leukocytes, endo- and exocytic vesicle transport, phagocytosis and lysis of microorganisms, antigen processing and presentation, lymphocyte activation and proliferation, and secretion of multiple chemokines and cytokines (Lee et al., 2008).
