Monocyte count

Monocyte count (MONO) is a type of white blood cell count that refers to counting the absolute value of monocytes in the blood. Monocytes have the same progenitor cells as granulocytes, and mature monocytes are released into the blood. But in fact, monocytes are not fully mature. After staying in the blood for about 3 to 16 days, they enter tissues and continue to develop into macrophages. Macrophages in blood and tissues form a mononuclear phagocyte system.
