Lab 6
Name___________________________
Lab Section _____________
Draw a picture of each type of blood cell, using the characteristics you described in the
pre-lab exercise. Color each cell appropriately. Be sure that you use the correct relative
sizes for each cell. Label nucleus and granules if appropriate. Colored pencils are
available in the lab. (26 points)
Activity 3:
Prepared Slide of Blood Smear
Use a prepared slide of a blood smear and be sure you can identify all the formed
elements on a slide. Use the photos in the lab manual histology atlas or on web sites,
and your dichotomous key to help you identify the cells. Use the 40X lens.
Activity 3(Modified): Conducting a Differential WBC Count.
Differential White Blood Cell Counts
(Also Called CBC – Complete Blood Count)
(Modified from http://www.rnceus.com/)
Normal values for total WBC and differential in adult males and females are:




Total WBC: 4,500 - 10,000/mm3
Bands (immature neutrophils): 3 - 5 %
Granulocytes (or polymorphonuclears)
o Neutrophils: 50 - 70% relative value (2500-7000 absolute value)
o Eosinophils: 1 - 3% relative value (100-300 absolute value)
o Basophils: 0.4% - 1% relative value (40-100 absolute value)
Agranulocytes
o Lymphocytes: 25 - 35% relative value (1700-3500 absolute value)
o Moncytes: 4 - 6% relative value (200-600 absolute value)
Each differential always adds up to 100%. To make an accurate assessment, consider
both relative and absolute values. For example a relative value of 70% neutrophils may
seem within normal limits; however, if the total WBC is 20,000, the absolute value (70%
x 20,000) would be an abnormally high count of 14,000.
The absolute value is the % of a cell type times the total WBC count.
Leukocytes: critical low and high values
Leukocytosis (high WBC count): a WBC count above 10,000

A WBC count over 30,000 indicates massive infection or a serious disease such as
leukemia.
Leukopenia(low WBC count): WBC count falls below 4,000

A WBC count of less than 500 places the patient at risk for a fatal infection.
1. You will be given a card with 50 WBCs on it. It will also contain information
about the total WBC count for the sample and other information if relevant.
Count the number of each of the different types of WBCs and fill in the chart
below. Multiply your counts by 2 to find the differential WBC count for your
sample. (The differential count is based on 100 cells and is reported as a %)
2. Using your data, decide which of the following eight scenarios is the most likely
explanation for your results.
Scenarios
This patient has AIDS. His lymphocyte count is low, which makes the percentages of
other WBCs seem high because the total WBC count is in the normal range.
This patient has acute appendicitis, caused by a bacterial infection. Her total WBC
count is high and her neutrophil count is high as well. There is a higher than normal
percentage of “bands” in the sample.
This patient has viral mononucleosis. Her lymphocyte count is high as lymphocytes
enter her blood to fight the viral particles. The lymphocytes look a bit atypical with
ragged edges.
This patient just returned from the tropics and has picked up a filarial (roundworm)
infection. His eosinophil count is high as the eosinophils attempt to fight off the
parasite infection.
This patient has acute myeloid leukemia. Red blood cell and platelet levels are low as
are the WBC levels. Patient E is tired, achy and bruises easily.
This patient has swollen lymph nodes and a high lymphocyte count. He is suffering
from B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-cell CLL).
This patient is feels tired, is gaining weight, is very sensitive to the cold and has an
elevated basophil count. She has been diagnosed with hypothyroidism.
This patient has tuberculosis which, among other things, has resulted in a condition
called monocytic leukocytosis or monocytosis.

___________
What is your patient’s total WBC count? (This is on the card.) ____________________
Is this normal, high or low? ____________________
What is the % of each of the cell types in the sample? This is the tally x2 if there are 100
cells. In some cases there are a few more that 100 cells. Just multiply the count by 2 as it
will not make a major difference. This number represents the % of each blood cell type.
Record in the table below.
What is the absolute value of each of the cell types you counted? This is the % of each
cell type x the total number of cells. Record in the table below.
Normal Counts
Segmented
Neutrophils 50-70%
Band Neutrophils 05%
Lymphocytes 2540%
Monocytes 3-8%
Eosinohils 2-4%
Basophils 0-1%

Compare your counts with the normal percentages and diagnose your patient’s condition.
Your counts are percentages because they are based on 100 WBCs.

Activity 7: Blood Typing ( modified)
(From Ward's or Carolina’s Simulated ABO and Rh Blood Typing)
Blood typing is an example of an antigen-antibody reaction. Antibodies are a normal part
of the immune response. In this example, the antigen-antibody complex that forms is a
clump of blood cells.
A. Refer to your text, page 671, or the lab manual, pages 433-435 for information about
ABO and Rh blood groups and blood typing.
B. Obtain a blood typing kit for your lab group. The kit should contain:







1 vial of simulated Anti-A Typing Serum
1 vial of simulated Anti-B Typing Serum
1 vial of simulated Anti-Rh Typing Serum
4 vial of blood samples
1 blood typing tray
toothpicks
glass marking pencil
C. Using the wax marking pencil, label each blood typing slide with the number of the
sample to be tested (1, 2, 3, 4).
D. Follow directions for the
Ward’s
Carolina kit. (Circle one)
Carolina:
Place one drop of simulated blood in each well of the typing slide.
Add one drop of anti-A serum in each A well
Add one drop of anti-B serum in each B well
Add one drop of anti-Rh serum in each Rh well
Stir each well with a different clean toothpick. Avoid cross contamination.
Wait a few minutes and observe each well.
Record observations on the data sheet, and answer the related questions.
Ward’s:
Place three or four drops of simulated blood in each well of the typing slide.
Add three or four drops of anti-A serum in each A well
Add three or four drops of anti-B serum in each B well
Add three or four drops of anti-Rh serum in each Rh well
Stir each well with a different clean toothpick. Avoid cross contamination.
Wait a few minutes and observe each well.
Record observations on the data sheet, and answer the related questions.
