What Does PBL Stand For?
PBL stands for Peripheral Blood Lymphocyte
Peripheral Blood Lymphocyte (PBL) refers to a type of white blood cell found in the bloodstream that plays a critical role in the immune system. PBLs are primarily involved in the body's defense against infections and diseases, including viral infections and tumors. They can be further classified into various subtypes, such as T cells, B cells, and natural killer (NK) cells, each with distinct functions in immune response. PBLs are often analyzed in clinical settings for diagnostic and monitoring purposes, particularly in hematology and oncology.
