| polymorphonuclear leukocyte | Small, actively motile white blood cells containing many lysosomes and specialising in phagocytosis. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| cystinotic leukocyte | A leukocyte having an enhanced content of cystine, found in patients with disorders characterised by the storage of cystine; within the leukocyte, the cystine, largely in noncrystalline form, is associated with dense lysosomal particles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| segmented leukocyte | Any mature polymorphonuclear leukocyte, especially a neutrophilic leukocyte. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hyaline leukocyte | Old term for a monocyte, and for a mononuclear macrophage in various lesions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neutrophilic leukocyte | A neutrophilic granulocyte, the most frequent of the polymorphonuclear leukocyte's, and also the most active phagocyte among the various types of white blood cells; when treated with Wright's stain (or similar preparations), the fairly abundant cytoplasm is faintly pink, and numerous tiny, slightly refractile, relatively bright pink or violet-pink, diffusely scattered granules are recognizable in the cytoplasm; the deeply stained blue or purple-blue nucleus is sharply distinguished from the cytoplasm and is distinctly lobated, with thin strands of chromatin connecting the three to five lobes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nonfilament polymorphonuclear leukocyte | <haematology> A neutrophil, basophil, or eosinophil that is not completely matured, i.e., the lobes of the nuclei remain connected with bands of chromatin, in contrast to the thin strands observed in mature cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nongranular leukocyte | <haematology> A general, non-specific term frequently used with reference to lymphocytes, monocytes, and plasma cells; although the cytoplasm of a lymphocyte or monocyte contains tiny granules, it is nongranular in comparison with that of a neutrophil, basophil, or eosinophil. See: leukocyte. Synonym: agranular leukocyte. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nonmotile leukocyte | <haematology> A term sometimes used with reference to lymphocytes, monocytes, and plasma cells; although such forms actually have some degree of motility, they are nonmotile in comparison with the actively ameboid, neutrophilic, basophilic, and eosinophilic leukocyte's. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oxyphilic leukocyte | A polymorphonuclear leukocyte characterised by many large or prominent, refractile, cytoplasmic granules that are fairly uniform in size and bright yellow-red or orange when treated with Wright's or similar stains; the nuclei are usually larger than those of neutrophils, do not stain as deeply, and characteristically have two lobes (a third lobe is sometimes interposed on the connecting strand of chromatin); these leukocyte's are motile phagocytes with distinctive antiparasitic functions. Synonym: acidophilic leukocyte, eosinocyte, eosinophil, eosinophile, oxyphil, oxyphile, oxyphilic leukocyte. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transitional leukocyte | Old term for a monocyte. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endothelial leukocyte | Old term for a monocyte, a type of leukocyte thought to be derived from reticuloendothelial tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endothelial-leukocyte adhesion molecule | 115,000 Mw molecule on the surface of endothelial cells that is involved in blood leukocyte attachment to vessel walls as well as emigration from the vessels into the tissues. (05 Mar 2000) |
| eosinophilic leukocyte | A polymorphonuclear leukocyte characterised by many large or prominent, refractile, cytoplasmic granules that are fairly uniform in size and bright yellow-red or orange when treated with Wright's or similar stains; the nuclei are usually larger than those of neutrophils, do not stain as deeply, and characteristically have two lobes (a third lobe is sometimes interposed on the connecting strand of chromatin); these leukocyte's are motile phagocytes with distinctive antiparasitic functions. Synonym: acidophilic leukocyte, eosinocyte, eosinophil, eosinophile, oxyphil, oxyphile, oxyphilic leukocyte. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Turk's leukocyte | A relatively large, immature cell with certain morphologic features resembling those of a plasma cell, although the nuclear pattern is similar to that of a myeloblast; found in circulating blood only in pathologic conditions. Synonym: irritation cell, Turk's leukocyte. (05 Mar 2000) |
| filament polymorphonuclear leukocyte | Any mature polymorphonuclear leukocyte, especially a neutrophilic leukocyte, in which the lobes of the nucleus are interconnected with a thin strand or filament of chromatin. (05 Mar 2000) |
