CD14+ monocytes are a subset of immune cells critical for initiating and regulating inflammatory responses. Found in human cord blood and peripheral blood, these cells express the CD14 surface marker and can differentiate into macrophages or dendritic cells. They play a key role in pathogen recognition, cytokine production, and tissue repair. CD14+ monocytes are widely used in immunology research to study infectious diseases, cancer, and autoimmune disorders. Their isolation and study provide valuable insights into immune system function and therapeutic development.
