Abstract
Different data show that circulating lymphocytes possess functional serotonin and dopamine transporters (SERT and DAT, respectively). This papers aims to review most of the available literature on this topic, while highlighting the possible role of SERT and DAT, as well as that of their substrates including antidepressants on the immune system.
