PBMC (Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells)

Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) are a type of immune cell found in the bloodstream. They include lymphocytes (like T cells and B cells) and monocytes, which are crucial for the body's defense against infections and diseases. PBMCs are collected from blood samples for various medical tests and research, helping scientists study the immune system, develop vaccines, and understand diseases. By analyzing these cells, researchers can gain insights into how the body responds to infections, cancer, and other health conditions.
