Immunology Interview Question:

What are phagocytic cells (macrophages)?

Submitted by: Administrator

All macrophages originate from bone marrow stem cells in the form of monoblast, which develop into promonocytes and monocytes. Monocytes enter the blood and their half-life in the blood is about 3 days. Later they enter into the tissues and develop into macrophages.
