A peripheral blood cell is any blood cell not found in the lymphatic system, spleen, liver, or bone marrow. A peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) is any peripheral blood cell that has a single cell nucleus, i.e. lymphocytes (T cells, B cells, NK cells) and monocytes; thus PBMC excludes platelets and red blood cells, which have no cell nuclei, and granulocytes, which have many nuclei. Extracted PBMCs from blood are essential in immunological and infectious disease research.
