GlossaryPeripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs)

blood cells with a single round nucleus, like lymphocytes and monocytes

Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) are a type of blood cell that has a single round nucleus, such as lymphocytes (T cells, B cells, NK cells) and monocytes. These cells are crucial for the immune system, as they play key roles in immune response and are often used in research and clinical studies to understand various diseases, including autoimmune disorders and infections.
