For the internet slang term "PBMC", see ProblemBetweenMonitorChair.

A Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell (PBMC) is a blood cell having a round nucleus, such as a lymphocyte or a monocyte. These blood cells are a critical component in the immune system to fight infection and adapt to intruders.

These cells are often extracted via centrifuge from whole blood samples for use in clinical trials.
