Part Descriptions
LP145519-7 Basophils+Mast cells
Basophils and mast cells contain granules that stain dark blue to black with Wright-Giemsa. The basophil nucleus is segmented and the chromatin is condensed or smudged. Mast cells are usually larger than basophils with a low nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio and a round or oval nucleus usually obscured by abundant red-purple granules. These granules in mast cells are smaller and more round and regular than basophilic granules and release histamine upon stimulation. Basophils and mast cells are derived from separate progenitor cells.
Basophils and mast cells are not normally found in body fluids, but when present, are most commonly associated with inflammatory conditions, foreign body reactions, and parasitic infestations.

LP157588-7 Leukocytes
Leukocytes or white blood cells (WBCs) are immune cells that fight infection, neoplasms and other inflammatory conditions, and mediate allergic responses. There are five types of WBCs normally present in the circulation that are all derived from a similar stem cell in the bone marrow. The five type of WBCs are divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of granules in the cytoplasm. The granulocytes include the neutrophils, basophils and eosinophils. The non-granulocytes include the lymphocytes and the monocytes. The neutrophils fight infection by ingesting and digesting bacteria. Eosinophils and basophils respond to allergic reactions and are capable of ingesting antigen-antibody complexes. Monocytes phagocytose bacteria and release interferon to stimulate the immune system. Lymphocytes are divided into T-cells and B-cells. T-cell immunity is cellular and involves the activation of phagocytes and B-cell immunity uses antibodies to fight infection. Both elevated and low leukocyte counts can be markers of infection and malignancy, and low leukocyte counts are associated with a variety of primary and secondary immunodeficiencies, depending on the WBC type(s) that are out of range.

- Change Reason
- Release 2.79: COMPONENT: Triggered by Coll w SCT: This is a specific fraction case where the denominator is percentage or /100. Because the logic is that the percentage piece is captured by Property: NFr (Numeric Fraction), and by Unit: %, therefore, it is redundant to include "100" in the component;
