Randomized trial identifies monocytes in blood-derived mononuclear cells, suggesting enhanced morphological analysis methods.

This research aims to identify and distinguish monocytes within mononuclear cell suspensions using a novel staining technique.
Developed a histochemical method utilizing MPS stain for differentiating cell types.
Isolated mononuclear cells from human blood via Ficoll-Isopaque density centrifugation.
Conducted morphological and cytochemical analysis based on staining characteristics.
Identified three distinct cell populations with one exhibiting strong characteristics of monocytes.
The new technique indicated a higher percentage of monocytes in cell suspensions than previously reported.
Demonstrated the utility of lysosomal content and endocytosis capacity in confirming monocyte presence.

Rothbarth et al. (1976) studied this question.
