A white blood cell that has a single nucleus and can take in (ingest) foreign material.

A type of immune cell that is made in the bone marrow and travels through the blood to tissues in the body where it becomes a macrophage. Macrophages surround and kill microorganisms, ingest foreign m [..]

A type of leukocyte with phagocytic abilities

Leukocyte (white blood cell) that functions in the ingestion of bacteria and other foreign particles. Monocytes make up 5-10% of the total white blood cell count.

A large white blood cell that ingests infectious agents or other cells and foreign particles. When a monocyte enters tissues, it develops into a macrophage.

(mon´o-sit) A phagocytic type of white blood cell, normally constituting about 3% to 8% of the white blood cell count. monomer

A type of leukocyte that becomes a phagocytic cell (macrophage) after moving into tissues. monoecious

A type of white blood cell.

This is a type of white blood cell that circulates in the blood and is an important part of the immune system involved in destroying microorganisms that enter our bodies. However, certain species of b [..]

a type of white blood cell and part of the innate immune system of vertebrates. Monocytes play multiple roles in immune function including replenishing resident macrophages

(n) a type of granular leukocyte that functions in the ingestion of bacteria

A monocyte is a type of white blood cell that is responsible for the ingestion of foreign particles such as bacteria and tissue debris.

white blood cell that is the precursor to a macrophage.

Monocytes made cytotoxic by In Vitro incubation with Cytokines, especially Interferon-gamma. The Cells are used for Adoptive Immunotherapy in cancer Patients.

A type of white blood cell that plays a role in immune defense by moving from the bloodstream into the tissues, enlarging, and becoming a macrophage. See also

A type of immune cell that is made in the bone marrow and travels through the blood to tissues in the body where it becomes a macrophage. Macrophages surround and kill microorganisms, ingest foreign material, remove dead cells, and boost immune responses. A monocyte is a type of white blood cell and a type of phagocyte.

a large white blood cell in the blood that ingests microbes or other cells and foreign particles. When a monocyte passes out of the bloodstream and enters tissues, it develops into a macrophage.

a WBC that travels through the bloodstream to an area of infection, then migrates into the tissue where it turns into a pathogen-eating macrophage (phagocyte)

A type of white blood cell that helps the body fight infection.

a type of circulating white blood cell which can differentiate into macrophages or dendritic cells.

A type of immune cell that circulates in the blood and becomes a macrophage when it enters the body's tissues and organs.

Cell in the blood that differentiates into macrophage.

A leukocyte found in bone marrow and in the circulatory system. Monocytes differentiate into macrophages in the tissues.
