At the same time large numbers of these cells perish in the struggle, but even the death of these cells is of value to the body, as in the process of breaking down there are set free ferments which not only act detrimentally to the bacteria, but also may stimulate the bringing forward of another form of cell defenders - the mononuclear leucocyte.
Feline leucocyte antigen class II polymorphism and susceptibility to feline infectious peritonitis.
In 1986 further recognition was achieved with our work with bedside Leucocyte depletion filters.
No patient with TA-GVHD had received leucocyte depleted blood components.
Numerous polymorphonuclear leucocytes and a few mononuclear cells, one of which has taken up a leucocyte into its interior (phagocytosis).
Schaudinn has stated, however, that Trypanomorpha becomes, in certain phases, attached to a red blood-corpuscle (ectoglobular), and, in others, penetrates inside one and eventually destroys it (endoglobular); while his other avian parasite, Trypanosoma ziemanni, apparently draws up into itself the white corpuscle (leucocyte) to which it becomes attached.
That's feline leucocyte antigen - which is part of the immune system which determines how a cat can handle a particular disease organism.
We investigate the signals that control leucocyte recruitment to the liver using in vitro human cell-based models and in vivo intravital microscopy.
Well, your doctor has nitrite and leucocyte esterase dipstick tests for night, weekend or emergency use.
