The white blood cell count and differential determines the number of white blood cells and the percentage of each type of white blood cell in your blood.
This test provides clues to the presence of illness and the type of illness. White cells protect the body by fighting infection and attacking foreign material.
There are five types of white cells. Each has a different function. Testing the differential reveals if one type is increased or decreased.
Total white cell count of 1400uL is high, indicating a problem.
Lymphocytes (T-cells) and (B-cells) should be 20 to 40% of that count.
Lymphocytes T's fight viral and some bacterial infections. B's make antibodies and special proteins that attack germs.

White Blood Cells are part of a family of immune cells which attack "invaders" in the body. If you have an elevated WBC count it most likely means there is an infection in your body that is being fought off. WBC is determined through a blood test known as a CBC or complete blood count. As a side note, your lymphatic system is where WBC multiply, grow and build up to prepare for an attack. Lymph nodes specifically are where WBC are located and as the lymph nodes become full of WBC the nodes become like little ball or bean shaped objects. In some people you can feel the enlarged lymph nodes especially on the sides of the neck and this is normal. (Although lymph nodes can also be enlarged due to seasonal allergies(normal), cancer and other diseases which is not normal and should be checked out as soon as possible)
