Neutrophils and monocytes are both types of white blood cells {fact:2, 10} and phagocytes {fact:4, 11, 12} that function as key components of the innate immune system [1]. They are frequently grouped together due to their shared roles in inflammation {fact:1, 8}, cytokine production [2], and recruitment to infection sites [3].

claimMonocytes are closely related to neutrophils and circulate in the bloodstream.
claimPrimary immunodeficiencies result from a defect in one or more elements or functions of the normal immune system, such as T cells, B cells, NK cells, neutrophils, monocytes, antibodies, cytokines, or the complement system.
claimThe most common cells of the immune system are lymphocytes (T cells, B cells, and NK cells), neutrophils, and monocytes/macrophages, all of which are types of white blood cells.
Immunity In Depth | Linus Pauling Institute lpi.oregonstate.edu 3 facts
claimMonocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils are key immune cells that engulf and digest invading microorganisms through a process known as phagocytosis.
claimMonocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils express surface receptors that identify pattern recognition receptors unique to pathogenic microorganisms but conserved across several families of pathogens.
measurementIn a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 46 healthy older adults (ages 55 to 75 years), daily supplementation with 720 mg of EPA and 280 mg of DHA for 12 weeks had no effect on the numbers of neutrophils, monocytes, or macrophages, nor did it affect respiratory burst or the production of cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6.
Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines Overview | Thermo Fisher Scientific - US thermofisher.com 3 facts
claimIn the context of SARS-CoV-2 infection, the cytokines IL-12 and IL-8 enhance IFN-γ production, which attracts monocytes and T lymphocytes, but not neutrophils, to induce apoptosis and eliminate infected cells.
claimIL-1Ra is secreted by neutrophils, macrophages, monocytes, and hepatocytes to decrease inflammation.
referenceIL-17 is classified as a pro-inflammatory cytokine, is produced by Th17 cells, binds to the IL-17R receptor, targets monocytes and neutrophils, and functions in recruiting monocytes and neutrophils to the site of infection and activating downstream cytokines and chemokines including IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-21, TNF-beta, and MCP-1.

claimThe innate immune system relies on cells that require no additional training to function, including neutrophils, monocytes, natural killer (NK) cells, and complement proteins.
claimThe immune system consists of white blood cells categorized as lymphocytes (T-cells, B-cells, and NK cells), neutrophils, and monocytes/macrophages.
