They have a characteristic morphology; having large cytoplasmic granules, that can be stained by basic dyes, and a bi-lobed nucleus.
Typically granulocytes have a role both in innate and adaptive immune responses in the fight against viral and parasitic infections. They phagocytose antigen-antibody complexes. They also produce histaminase, and aryl suphatase B, two enzymes that inactivate two inflammatory agents released by mast cells. A high eosinophil blood count may indicate an allergic reaction. This photo shows a picture of a basophil.
The granules contain heparin, histamine and serotonin. Function : These cells are involved in immune responses to parasites. They have IgE receptors and the granules are released when the cells bind IgE. These cells also accumulate at sites of infection, and the release of prostaglandins, serotonin and histamine help to increase blood flow to the area of damage, as part of the inflammatory response. The degranulation - release of histamine also plays a role in allergic reactions such as hay fever.
This is a photo of a lymphocyte in a blood smear. These larger cells have more cytoplasm, more free ribosomes and mitochondria. Lymphocytes can look like monocytes, except that lymphocytes do not have a kidney-bean shaped shaped nucleus, and lymphocytes are usually smaller. An average count of basophils is 0. Low granulocytes is a condition called granulocytopenia , or sometimes called agranulocytosis.
A low granulocytes count is usually caused by a condition affecting the blood such as anemia or leukemia. Such conditions either stop the body from being able to produce new blood cells, or damages existing blood cells. Blood conditions that can cause low granulocytes include leukemia, anemia, or side effects from chemotherapy.
The lack of sufficient granulocytes makes the body more prone to infections. This can lead to an increase in sore throats and fevers. The term granulocytopenia is sometimes used interchangeably with the term neutropenia, as this is usually the main type of granulocytes that the body lacks. Most people who are granulocytopenic are also neutropenic. Cancer Genomics Research. Research on Causes of Cancer.
