Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Monocytes are a critical component of the innate immune system. They are the source of many other vital elements of the immune system, such as macrophages and dendritic cells. Monocytes play a role in both the inflammatory and anti-inflammatory processes that take place during an immune response.
Detailed explanation-2: -Monocytes have a direct antimicrobial role at sites of infection and can also, particularly during pulmonary or dermal infections, carry microbial antigens to local lymph nodes, where they can either transfer antigens to classical dendritic cells (DCs)111 or differentiate into monocyte-derived DCs.
