Definitions

1. Granulocytes: Any cell containing granules especially a leukocyte. (Web site)
2. Granulocytes are part of the innate-immune-system and have broad-based activity.
3. Granulocytes are a category of white blood cells characterised by the presence of granules in their cytoplasm.
4. Granulocytes are themselves divided into three classes: neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils. (Web site)
5. Granulocytes are a type of white blood cell that includes neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. (Web site)

Spleen

1. However, granulocytes live only ~10 hours in the circulation (for days in spleen or other tissue), which gives a very short-lasting effect. (Web site)

Body

1. In atypical chronic myelogenous leukemia (aCML), the body tells too many blood stem cells to develop into a type of white blood cell called granulocytes. (Web site)
2. Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the blood in which too many granulocytes, a type of white blood cell, are produced in the bone marrow.

Nk Cells

1. Mac-1 is expressed by macrophages, NK cells, granulocytes, activated lymphocytes and mouse B-1 cells in the peritoneal cavity. (Web site)
2. Granulocytes or PMN are released from the bone marrow by the regulatory complement proteins. (Web site)

Gm-Csf

1. Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) A substance (cytokine) that stimulates the growth of granulocytes, a type of white blood cell. (Web site)
2. GM-CSF is also capable of activating mature granulocytes and macrophages. (Web site)

Macrophages

1. The red pulp contains plasma cells, resident macrophages, erythrocytes, platelets, granulocytes and lymphocytes.
2. Granulocytes develop from blood-forming cells called myeloblasts to become mature, infection-fighting cells. (Web site)
3. Phagocytosis of E. coli by bone marrow granulocytes was analyzed by visualization of internalized E. coli by using a fluorescent microscope. (Web site)
4. The BM regulates the homeostatic release of mature neutrophils and the accelerated production of granulocytes in response to inflammatory signals (6, 7).

Neutrophil Granulocytes

1. Neutropenia is a haematological disorder characterised by an abnormally low number of neutrophil granulocytes (a type of white blood cell).
2. In common parlance, the term polymorphonuclear leukocyte often refers specifically to neutrophil granulocytes, the most abundant of the granulocytes. (Web site)

Red Blood Cells

1. The bone marrow produces B cells, natural killer cells, granulocytes and immature thymocytes, in addition to red blood cells and platelets. (Web site)
2. The immature cells called granulocytes myeloblast (from this comes the name of myeloid leukemia).

Myelocytes

1. The percentage of immature granulocytes by flow cytometry showed good correlation with the manual percentage of blasts + promyelocytes + myelocytes. (Web site)
2. Signal transduction in monocytes and granulocytes measured by multiparameter flow cytometry. (Web site)

Neutrophilia

1. Characterized by a leukocytosis due to a neutrophilia with the appearance of immature granulocytes in peripheral blood.
2. A rare condition characterized by the defective development of T-cells, B-cells, thrombocytes and granulocytes.

Blood Cells

1. Polymorphonuclear cells or granulocytes are a category of white blood cells characterised by the presence of granules in their cytoplasm.
2. Granulocytes are a group of white blood cells (leukocytes) which contain granules in their cytoplasm and a multilobed nucleus.
3. Granulocytes are a type of white blood cell filled with microscopic granules that are little sacs containing enzymes that digest microorganisms. (Web site)
4. Specific granules are the granules which are only found in one particular type of granulocytes. (Web site)
5. Eosinophils are granulocytes which contain orange (eosinophilic) cytoplasmic granules. (Web site)

Lymphocytes

1. Leukocytes include granulocytes (i.e., neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils), band cells, T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, and monocytes. (Web site)
2. The treatment will involve transfusing specific white blood cells, called granulocytes, from select donors, into patients with advanced forms of cancer.
3. Antibodies against red cells, platelets, lymphocytes and granulocytes were detected in extremely high titers.

Neutrophils

1. Other white blood cells which are not granulocytes (" agranulocytes ") are mainly lymphocytes and monocytes.
2. Leukocytes divide in two categories: granulocytes and lymphoid cells or agranulocytes. (Web site)
3. There are many types of phagocytes, broken into two groups: myeloid cells (granulocytes) and monocytes. (Web site)

Immune System

1. Neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils are all granulocytes and are part of the innate immune system with somewhat nonspecific, broad-based activity. (Web site)
2. Eosinophil granulocytes - Increased in parasitic infections, asthma, or allergic reaction.

Basophils

1. The other types of white blood cells are granulocytes (neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils) and monocytes. (Web site)
2. Eosinophils, neutrophils, basophils, and mast cells are types of granulocytes. (Web site)

Granulocytes

1. In chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), too many bone marrow stem cells develop into a type of white blood cell called granulocytes.
