[6] [7] Today, three types of monocytes are recognized in human blood: [8] The classical monocyte is characterized by high level expression of the CD14 cell surface receptor (CD14 ++ CD16 − monocyte) The non-classical monocyte shows low level expression of CD14 and additional co-expression of the CD16 receptor (CD14 + CD16 ++ monocyte).

Monocytopenia is a form of leukopenia associated with a deficiency of monocytes. It has been proposed as a measure during chemotherapy to predict neutropenia , [ 1 ] though some research indicates that it is less effective than lymphopenia .
Monocytosis is an increase in the number of monocytes circulating in the blood. [1] Monocytes are white blood cells that give rise to macrophages and dendritic cells in the immune system. In humans, monocytosis occurs when there is a sustained rise in monocyte counts greater than 800/mm 3 to 1000/mm 3. [2]
This list of over 500 monoclonal antibodies includes approved and investigational drugs as well as drugs that have been withdrawn from market; consequently, the column Use does not necessarily indicate clinical usage.
Types of white blood cells are granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils), and agranulocytes (monocytes, and lymphocytes (T cells and B cells)). [5] Myeloid cells include neutrophils, eosinophils, mast cells, basophils, and monocytes. [6] Monocytes are further subdivided into dendritic cells and macrophages.
Receptor for both interleukin 4 and interleukin 13. IL4Ra is targeted by Regeneron-Sanofi antibody Dupilumab in the treatment of atopic dermatitis [4] and Pieris-Astra Zeneca investigational anticalin PRS-060 in the treatment of asthma. [5] Both drugs thus modulate signaling of the interleukin 4 and interleukin 13 pathways. CD125
Pancytopenia is a medical condition in which there is significant reduction in the number of almost all blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, monocytes, lymphocytes, etc.). If only two parameters from the complete blood count are low, the term bicytopenia can be used. The diagnostic approach is the same as for pancytopenia.
T H 1 cells also help recruit more monocytes, the precursor to macrophages, to the infection site. T H 1 secretion TNF-α and LT-α to make blood vessels easier for monocytes to bind to and exit. [34] T H 1 secretion of CCL2 as a chemoattractant for monocytes. IL-3 and GM-CSF released by T H 1 cells stimulate more monocyte production in the ...
