White blood cells Five types of WBCs participate in the body’s defence and immune systems. These five types of cells are classifi ed as granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils) and ...

Severe disease was associated with increased peripheral blood levels of neutrophils and decreased levels of eosinophils and basophils. “General neutrophilia can be considered a hallmark of ...

DCs interact with different immune cells to dictate the immune response. This interaction may be direct (T-cells), or indirect (with B-cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, mast cells and basophils ...

Neutrophils serve as the primary defense system against bacterial infection and act via phagocytosis. Eosinophils are involved in antigen-antibody reactions.
