Monocytes, which constitute between 4 and 8 percent of the total number of white blood cells in the blood, move from the blood to sites of infection, where they differentiate further into macrophages.
Monocytes are the largest type of white blood cells and play an important role in the adaptive immunity process. Monocytes typically circulate through the blood for 1–3 days before migrating into tissues, where they become macrophages or dendritic cells.Nov 16, 2020
