What cell has a bilobed nucleus and red staining granules that become abundant during allergies and parasitic infections?
Eosinophils are the cells with a bilobed nucleus and red staining granules. They are involved in immune responses to allergies and parasitic infections by releasing substances to combat these invaders.
What is the structural characteristic of a eosinophils?
They contain a bilobed nucleus and their granules stain red, due to the eosin dye. Plus, the granules themselves look almost crystalline. Don't get them confused with basophils which also have a bilobed nucleus BUT basophils granules do not stain well (and when they do they stain blue) in comparision.

How many lobes do eosinophils usually have in its nucleus?
Eosinophils have 2 lobes separated by a thin strand of chromatin whereas neutrophils have between 3 and 5 lobes. By knowing this it is easy to tell the difference (in a light microscope) between eosinophils and neutrophils in a blood smear.
WBCs with dense reddish granules that increase in allergic reactions?
Eosinophils are the type of leukocyte which assist in fighting allergens and parasitic infections. Eosinophils can be identified by their granules which attract the red stain, eosin, and by their bi-lobed nuclei.
What are the properties of eosinophils?
Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell characterized by their bilobed nucleus and large granules that stain bright red with eosin dye. They play a crucial role in the immune response, particularly in combating parasitic infections and mediating allergic reactions. Eosinophils release inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines and chemokines, which help regulate immune responses. Additionally, they are involved in the modulation of asthma and other allergic conditions.
What is the structural characteristics of eosinophils and the white blood cell population?
Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell that contain granules with enzymes and proteins. They have a two-lobed nucleus and are classified as granulocytes due to the presence of these granules in their cytoplasm. In terms of white blood cell population, eosinophils typically make up around 1-6% of the total white blood cell count in the body.
What does a 0 L absolute eosinophils mean?
No eosinophils were observed
What are eosinophils responsible for?
Eosinophils increases in amount when there are parasitic infection. These WBCs(eosinophils) attacks parasite through chemical means.
What does absolute eosinophils means?
This means that no eosinophils were observed in the blood sample taken and observed. This is not necessarily pathologic as eosinophils are the second rarest white blood cell type in the blood stream.
Why neutrophils and eosinophils have lobed nucleus?
This is a good question without a satisfactory answer. Some speculate that multi-lobed nuclei improve cellular migration through tissues. Neutrophils have a short lifespan after release from the bone marrow; perhaps multi-lobed nuclei act as a prelude to programmed cell death. An intriguing but apparently untested possibility is that multi-lobed nuclei facilitate regulated release of DNA and other nuclear contents. For neutrophils these released substances are called neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Eosinophils also release extracellular traps. For a review of NETs see J. Cell Biol. 2012, 198:773-83.
Is eosinophils contagious?
Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell, not a disease. Its not contageous.
