I'm making isolation the mononuclear from cord blood but I don't know how to recognize it? Can anybody help me?
I didn't find anything about it on the web. Please help me.

Hi,

It's alittle bit late you have probably found the solution, but anyways, let me tell you what I know about mononuclear cells: You have T and B cells: small round white cells. macrophages are bigger than T/B and harsh membrane-phenotype. NK cells are also small but not as round T/B. In general you will not find anything on the web, but the best thing is to check a scientific textbook which might have some info for the light microscopic view of the cells you are looking for
