Study Notes
- Agranulocytes include monocytes and lymphocytes.
- Monocytes are blood form of macrophages and act as antigen-presenting cells.
- Monocytes lack prominent granules but may appear finely granular.
- Lymphocytes are cells of specific acquired immunity and have a spherical nucleus.
- T-cells are involved in cell-mediated immunity and B-cells produce antibodies.
- Natural killer (NK) cells comprise a third class of lymphocyte.
- NK cells kill foreign or virally-infected cells without antigen-antibody interaction.
- A differential white cell count involves counting at least 100 WBCs and tallying them.
- Normal percentages for each leukocyte are provided in Table 11-1.
- Basophils account for less than 0.2% of leukocytes in a differential white cell count.
