Peripheral blood mononuclear cell

From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history

Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells or PBMCs are types of white blood cells with a round nuclei, including lymphocytes, macrophages and monocytes, but not granulocytes (polymorphonuclear leucocytes like neutophils, eosinophils and basophils).[1][2]

PBMCs are less dense than granulocytes, and less dense than red blood cells.[3]
