Monocytes: The biggest leukocytes have an amoeboid structure. They have nuclei that are kidney-shaped. Monocytes enter the tissues from the circulation and mature into macrophages. Macrophages are phagocytic, engulfing bacteria and other cellular waste. Types of WBC (Leukocytes) Thrombocytes (Blood ...
The presence of surface immunoglobulins on turtle splenic leukocytes was confirmed by sheep red blood cell (SRBC) immunization studies. Basophils, lymphocytes and monocytes from immunized turtles formed SRBC rosettes, while eosinophils from immunized turtles were found to specifically phagocytose SRBC. ...
Monocytes - Compared to lymphocytes (agranular leukocytes) monocytes are larger in size with a nucleus that is bean or kidney shaped. These cells also have more cytoplasm compared to lymphocytes.White Blood Cell CountCounting white blood cells is of great clinical significance because it contributes ...

These results are compared to gross and microscopic pathological findings in selected organs from infected sheep. Replication was demonstrated in two major cell types: vascular endothelial cells, and agranular leukocytes which morphologically resemble lymphocytes, monocytes/macrophages and/or dendritic cells....

In the physical interaction of platelets with different types of leukocytes, the platelets’ P-selectin is responsible for the activation of different integrins: e.g., Mac-1 (αMβ2) and LFA-1 (αLβ2) on neutrophils, or β1 and β2 integrins on monocytes and lymphocytes. Moreover, P...
In addition, both FFA2 and FFA3 are found in various immune cells including monocytes and polymorphonuclear cells [36,37,40]. In addition to the current FFA family members, there are several additional GPCRs reported to be activated by SCFAs; mouse olfactory receptor Olfr78 (OR51E2 in human...
