A large number of non-specific immune cells, such as macrophages, neutrophils and natural killer cells, as well as specific immune cells, such as B cells and T cells, are presented in the atherosclerotic plaques and arterial blood. In addition, immune-related regulatory molecules such as interferon-γ, interleukin-17, and interleukin-1β highly express in atherosclerotic lesion tissues, which is similar to the tumor immune microenvironment and influence the atherosclerosis progression. In this paper, the research progress of immune cells and related factors involved in the immune microenvironment around cerebral atherosclerotic lesions is reviewed to provide idea and basis for its clinical diagnosis and treatment.
