White blood cells


Definition:



White blood cells or leukocytes are cells of the immune system which
defend the body against both infectous disease and foreign materials.



Characters of WBCs:

3.

Whenever a germ or infection enters the body the white blood cells
have a variety of ways by which they can attack. Some will
produce protective antibodies that will overpower the germ. Others
will surround and devour the bacteria.
The white blood cells have a rather short life cycle, living from a
few days to a few weeks.
Several different and diverse types of leukocytes exist, but they
are all produced and derived from a multipotent cell in the bone
marrow known as a hematopoietic stem cell.

Leukocytes are found throughout the body, including the
blood and lymphatic system.
The name "White Blood Cell" derives from the fact that
after cenrifugation of a blood sample, the white cells are
found in the Buffy coat, a thin layer of nucleated cells
between the sedimented red blood cells and the blood
plasma, which is typically white in color. The scientific term
leukocyte directly reflects this description, derived from
Greek leuko - white, and cyte - cell.

(White cell count (WBC




White cell count (WBC) is the total number of leukocytes in a
volume of blood, expressed as thousands/µl.
As with the RBC, the WBC can be done by manual methods
or by automated cell counters.
Normal Values:








Newborn
1 week
1 month
6-12 months
2 years
Child/adult

9.0-30.0 x 103/μl
5.0-21.0 x 103/μl
5.0-19.5 x 103/μl
6.0-17.5 x 103/μl
6.2-17.0 x 103/μl
4.8-10.8 x 103/μl

Leukocytosis


Leukocytosis is a condition characterized by an elevated
number of white cells in the blood, which is usually due to:
 Bacterial infection such as appendicitis, tonsillitis, ulcers
and urinary tract infection

 Leukemia.
 Pregnancy.
 Hemolytic disease of new born.
 Following exercise.
 Emotional stress.
 Food intake.

Leukopenia


Leukopenia is a condition characterized by a
decreased number of white cells in the blood, which
is usually due to:
Viral disease such as measles and infectious hepatitis.
 Some bacterial infections such as typhoid fever,
brucellosis, and typhus fever.
 Rheumatoid arthritis.
 Systemic Lupus Erythematosis.
 Certain drugs such as radio therapy and chemotherapy.

Principle of WBCs count test







Free-flowing capillary or well-mixed anticoagulated
venous blood is added to a diluent) at a specific
volume in the thoma pipette.
The diluent lyses the erythrocytes but preserves
leukocytes and platelets.
The diluted blood is added to the hemacytometer
chamber.

Specimen:




EDTA- anticoagulated blood or capillary blood is
preferred.

Reagents, supplies and equipment:




White blood cells count diluting fluid which may be one
of the following:
 Acetic acid 2% (v/v) in distilled water.
 HCL 1% (v/v) in distilled water.

 Turks' solution which is formed of:
 Glacial acetic acid 3 ml
 Crystal violet 1 ml
 100 ml distilled water.

Hemacytometer






The hemacytometer counting chamber is used for cell
counting.
It is constructed so that the distance between the bottom of
the coverslip and the surface of the counting area of the
chamber is 0.1 mm.
The surface of the chamber contains two square ruled areas
separated by an H-shaped moat.

Draw the blood up to 0.5 mark in the thoma pipette.
Wipe the outside of the capillary pipette to remove
excess blood that would interfere with the dilution
factor.
Holding the pipette almost vertical place into the fluid.
Draw the diluting fluid into the pipette slowly until the
mixture reaches the 11 mark, while gently rotating the
pipette to ensure a proper amount of mixing.
Place the pipette in a horizontal position and firmly
hold the index finger of either hand over the opening in
the tip of the pipette, detach the aspirator from the
other end of the pipette now the dilution of the blood is
completed

Mix the sample for at least 3 minutes to facilitate
hemolysis of RBCs.
Clean the hemacytometer and its coverslip with an
alcohol pad and then dry with a wipe.
Before filling the chamber, discard the first four to
five drops of the mixture on apiece of gauze to expel
the diluent from the stem.

Under 10 x magnifications, scan to ensure even
distribution. Leukocytes are counted in all nine large
squares of counting chamber.
Count cells starting in the upper left large corner
square. Move to the upper right corner square,
bottom right corner square, bottom left corner square
and end in the middle square.
Count all cells that touch any of the upper and left
lines, do not count any cell that touches a lower or
right line.

Calculations
Depth= 0.1
 Correction for dilution:






The thoma pipette is 1:20

Dilution factor 20

Correction of volume:
 Volume of 1small square = 1x1x0.1= 0.1mm3
 Volume of 4 large squares = 4x0.1= 0.4 mm3 or μL

Discussion
1.

A highly elevated leukocyte count (leukocytosis) may make
accurate counting difficult. In either instance, a secondary
dilution should be made. When calculating the total count,
adjust the formula to allow for secondary dilution. Or a red
pipette can be used to make 1:100 dilution.

2.

If count is less than 3000 cell/mm3, a smaller dilution of
blood should be used to ensure a more accurate count.
This can be accomplished by drawing the blood up to 1.0
mark and the diluting fluid to the 11 mark. The dilution will
then be 1 : 10, and the dilution factor in the calculation will
be 10

Discussion

3.

If more than 5 nucleated RBC’s are seen on the
differential, the total leukocyte count should be corrected
using the following calculation:

Corrected WBC =
(Uncorrected leukocyte count x 100)
(100 + # of NRBC’s/100 WBC’s on differential)
