Preferred Label : Autologous Monocytes;
NCIt synonyms : Therapeutic Autologous Monocytes;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous monocytes, with potential immunomodulating activity. Following
isolation and administration, the autologous monocytes may differentiate into classic
M1 macrophages, which are able to directly attack and kill tumor cells. The stimulated
monocytes also promote natural killer (NK) cell differentiation, which further enhances
tumor cell killing through NK-mediated cytotoxicity.;
