6How Monocytes Fight Infection
When the body is exposed to foreign invaders, monocytes can be transformed into macrophages, which help destroy debris, viruses, bacteria, and other infected cells. Unlike the T-cells, they can be available more immediately to detect and attack any new threats. These elements might stay in usual areas or quickly move to the inflamed sites to fight infection.
Some monocytes can be transformed into dendritic cells in your tissues. These elements will combine with the T lymphocytes and build up debris from the damage of viruses, bacteria, or any foreign materials. [6]
