Human PBMCs: a powerful tool for your research
- [Mar 02, 2021]
Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) mainly consist of lymphocytes and monocytes and are a critical component of the body’s complex and dynamic immune system.
These cells serve as a powerful platform for a wide spectrum of research
and clinical studies related to human health and disease. Therefore,
PBMCs are not only used in immunological studies, vaccine development
or biomarker identification, but also in infectious disease research, toxicity screening, cancer immunotherapy and personalized medicine.
