Если мы переводим вот это - http://dare.uva.nl/document/101284 , то там на стр.20 есть расшифровка аббревиатуры "PMC"...


"...complement levels in the human lung are normally low and therefore it is likely that in early infection L. pneumophila attaches to phagocytes by another mechanism. Indeed, in the absence of complement or antibodies, the microorganism still binds to ****phagocytic mononuclear cells (PMC)**** that express Fcy-receptors and CR1 and CR3 receptors"



Далее в этом тексте есть те фрагменты, которые мы здесь уже видели:


"Signall transfer requires several other factors such as LBP, the LPS binding protein, MD-2 and the CD 14 receptor on the surface of **PMC** [81]
...
Legionella LPS is a weak inducer of pro-inflammatory cytokines by **PMC** in vitro and in vivo compared to enterobacterial LPS [83,84]
...
It might be that LPS or other Legionella cell wall components, like flagellin, are able to activate **PMC** via other (toll-like) receptors..."
