Jrnl. 10 Sept. 583 These cells are supposed to be transitional between the large mononuclear and the polymorphonuclear neutrophiles. 1908Jrnl. Infectious Dis. V. 175 In the experiments recorded subsequently..++ [indicates] destruction of the large mononuclears with degeneration of the lymphocytes. 1928Amer. Jrnl. Physiol. LXXXV. 490 There are many forms of large mononuclears which are hard to distinguish from lymphocytes by the ordinary Wright stain. 1956Nature 21 Jan. 138/2 The total leucocyte count was about double.., the mononuclears being increased by about 10,000 and the polymorphonuclears by about 6,500. 1974Park & Good Princ. Mod. Immunobiol. xiii. 171 Other chemotactic substances..derive from the complement components and these influence the mononuclears, as well as polymorphonuclears. So monoˈnucleated a. = mononuclear; spec. (see quot. 1930).

Why have our modern large cities assumed this mononucleated form? 1938L. Mumford Culture of Cities vii. 489 Under this mode of design, the planner proposes to replace the ‘mono-nucleated city’, as Professor Warren Thompson has called it, with a new type of ‘poly-nucleated city’, in which a cluster of communities, adequately spaced and bounded, shall do duty for the badly organized mass city. 1971Nature 10 Sept. 105/1 Attached cells..were mostly mononucleated, though sometimes binucleated. |
