What Does PBM Stand For?
PBM stands for Peripheral Blood Monocyte
PBM, or Peripheral Blood Monocyte, refers to a type of white blood cell found in the bloodstream that plays a critical role in the immune response. These cells are derived from bone marrow and are involved in the detection and response to infections, inflammation, and tissue damage. PBMs can differentiate into various types of cells, including macrophages and dendritic cells, contributing to both innate and adaptive immunity. Their study is essential for understanding immune system function and dynamics in various clinical conditions.
