Description | Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) mainly consists of lymphocytes and monocytes, which are involved in various defense mechanisms in the immune system. The PBMCs secret cytokines and chemokines to regulate immune response as well as inflammation in the human body. These cells are useful in the fields of immunology, infectious disease, hematological malignancies, vaccine development and transplant immunology. |
