Description
Immune response. Fluorescent light micrograph of monocytes (green) surrounding hair follicles (large round structures, blue). Monocytes are a type of white blood cell (leucocyte) that are involved in the immune system's defence mechanisms and protect the body against the invasion of foreign pathogens in the blood. They destroy the pathogens by phagocytosing (engulfing) them.
