  2. Blood smear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_smear

    Modern complete blood count analyzers can provide an automated white blood cell differential, but they have a limited ability to differentiate immature and abnormal cells, so manual examination of the blood smear is frequently indicated. [5] [6] Blood smear examination is the preferred diagnostic method for certain parasitic infections, such as ...

  3. Eosinophil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophil

    Reference ranges for blood tests of white blood cells, comparing eosinophil granulocyte amount (shown in light red) with other cells Eosinophils play an important role in asthma as the number of accumulated eosinophils corresponds to the severity of asthmatic reaction. [ 7 ]

  4. Neutrophil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrophil

    The HNA-3 antigen system has two antigens (3a and 3b) which are located on the seventh exon of the CLT2 gene . The HNA-4 and HNA-5 antigen systems each have two known antigens (a and b) and are located in the β2 integrin. HNA-4 is located on the αM chain and HNA-5 is located on the αL integrin unit . [69]

  5. Immunocytochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunocytochemistry

    Immunocytochemistry labels individual proteins within cells, such as TH (green) in the axons of sympathetic autonomic neurons.. Immunocytochemistry (ICC) is a common laboratory technique that is used to anatomically visualize the localization of a specific protein or antigen in cells by use of a specific primary antibody that binds to it.

  6. Antigen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antigen

    An illustration that shows how antigens induce the immune system response by interacting with an antibody that matches the molecular structure of an antigen. In immunology, an antigen (Ag) is a molecule, moiety, foreign particulate matter, or an allergen, such as pollen, that can bind to a specific antibody or T-cell receptor. [1]

  7. Reactive lymphocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_lymphocyte

    Reactive lymphocyte surrounded by red blood cells. In immunology, reactive lymphocytes, variant lymphocytes, atypical lymphocytes, Downey cells or Türk cells are cytotoxic (CD8 +) lymphocytes that become large as a result of antigen stimulation. Typically, they can be more than 30 μm in diameter with varying size and shape.

  8. Complete blood count - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_blood_count

    A complete blood count (CBC), also known as a full blood count (FBC), is a set of medical laboratory tests that provide information about the cells in a person's blood.The CBC indicates the counts of white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets, the concentration of hemoglobin, and the hematocrit (the volume percentage of red blood cells).

  9. Monocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocyte

    One can see red blood cells, several knobby white blood cells including lymphocytes, a monocyte, a neutrophil, and many small disc-shaped platelets. A monocyte count is part of a complete blood count and is expressed either as a percentage of monocytes among all white blood cells or as absolute numbers. Both may be useful, but these cells ...
