Summary Introduction
To review:
The possibility for differentiation of T and B lymphocytes in a blood count.
Introduction:
Leukocytes are the blood cells that are responsible for providing immunity to the human body. These cells are divided into five categories, namely lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, and neutrophils. Lymphocytes are derived from lymphoid stem cells while other are derived from myeloid stem cells.

Are you able to recognize and identify the various formed elements? You will need to do this is a systematic manner, scanning along the image. The standard method is to use a grid, but this is not possible with this resource. Try constructing a simple table with each leukocyte type and then making a mark for each cell type you identify. Attempt to classify at least 50 and perhaps as many as 100 different cells. Based on the percentage of cells that you count, do the numbers represent a normal blood smear or does something appear to be abnormal?
Draw the antigens on the red blood cell below for someone who is A+. Draw the antibodies for this person in the surrounding plasma. What type of blood can this person receive and why?
Can all abnormal hemoglobins be diagnosed by electrophoresis? Explain your answer in detail.
