Cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system arise from circulating blood monocytes. Upon emigration from the vasculature, monocytes differentiate into macrophages, a process that monocytes similarly undergo in vitro. We have established primary cultures from elutriated or adherence-purified blood m...
