Leucocyte

The direction of motion is due to stimulation of that part of the body of the leucocyte which is towards the source of the stimulus. ❋ William Thomas Councilman (N/A)

National Blood Transfusion Centre, he described the first leucocyte antigen, MAC, which has become known as HLA-A2. ❋ Unknown (1992)

The digestive juices have powerful action, but it is probable that part of the protein escapes and certain particles pass into the circulation, thus effecting a true antigen injection, which can thus set off the leucocyte reaction. ❋ Unknown (1967)

The giant leucocyte, after a few months, tends to break up into the original, uncontrollable type; and about half the time, if that process is permitted to reach completion, the new cells no longer act even as inefficient defenders; they attack, instead, and the victim dies of leukemia. ❋ Clement, Hal (1965)

Pulse, 90; temperature, 99.2; respiration, 20; leucocyte count, .82 at 10 a.m. ❋ Oliver Remey (N/A)

Degeneration and death of cells, haemorrhages, serous and fibrinous exudations, leucocyte emigration, proliferation of connective tissue and other cells, may be mentioned as some of the fundamental changes. ❋ Various (N/A)

It stood out sharply when he focused -- the white, jellyfish shape of a single-celled leucocyte. ❋ Harry Harrison (N/A)

Starting at one end of the film move the slide slowly across the microscope stage and as each leucocyte comes into view count and record the number of ingested bacteria. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

Physical Economics treats of the internal affairs of the body; the whole machinery and how it works; all organs, members, functions; each last and littlest capillary and leucocyte, are parts of that "economy." ❋ Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1897)

Surely now the regular leucocyte cavalry have them at their mercy, and can cut them down at leisure. ❋ Woods Hutchinson (1896)

While some surgeons and anatomists will show a temperature from the merest scratch, and yet either never develop any serious infection or display very high resisting power in the later stages, others, again, will stand forty slight inoculations with absolute impunity, and yet, when once the leucocyte-barrier is broken down, will make apparently little resistance to a fatal systemic infection. ❋ Woods Hutchinson (1896)

Most of them do no harm at all; indeed, some probably assist in the processes of digestion; others are camp-followers, living on our leavings; others, captive enemies which have been clubbed into peaceful behavior by our leucocyte and anti-body police. ❋ Woods Hutchinson (1896)

In the former, which is far the commoner case, their presence will cause an irritation of the surface cells which brings out the leucocyte cavalry of the body to the defense, together with squads of the serum or watery fluid of the blood containing fibrin. ❋ Woods Hutchinson (1896)

Although even here, as we shall see, it is only a question of quickness of response, for while the first bands of the enemy may be held at bay by the leucocyte cavalry, and a light attack repelled by their skirmish-line, yet when it comes to the heavy fighting of a fever-invasion, it is the slow but substantial burgher-like fixed cells of the body which form the real infantry masses of the campaign. ❋ Woods Hutchinson (1896)

In the human immune system, the HLA human leucocyte antigen family of genes plays an important role in defending against foreign invaders such as viruses. ❋ Unknown (2011)
