Lymphocytes and monocytes maintain their cell surface HLA-B via different mechanisms, which in turn differently influence cell-surface expression, half-life and peptide receptivity of HLA-B allotypes.

Elevated growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF15) levels do not appear to be a causal factor in body mass index (BMI) in humans but higher BMI does cause increases in GDF15.
In the injured sciatic nerve, blood-derived monocytes and macrophages eat dying leukocytes, thereby contributing to nerve debridement and inflammation resolution, and this correlates with neuronal regeneration.
