PBMC
Description
Peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) is a fraction of the leucocyte population in the blood composed by cells with round nucleus. PBMC consist of lymphocytes (T, B and NK cells) and monocytes. During extraction, neutrophils and platelets can be found in the PBMC fraction.
Abbreviation: PBMC
Reference: MiPNet21.17 BloodCellsIsolation
Cell Size
- Lymphocytes: 210 fl of volume; 7 to 10 µm in diameter [1]
- Monocytes: 180 fl of volume; 15 to 25 µm in diameter [2]
