Which type of leukocyte is responsible for antibody production?
lymphocytes
Which type of leukocyte is most numerous in the bloodstream?

Is basophils a leukocyte?
In humans the most abundant Leukocyte is the Neutrophil 62%, then Eosinohpils at 2.3%then Basophils at 0.4% , Monocytes are 5.3% and Lymphocytes are 30%. These percentages are in a normal blood count and can change during active disease process.
What leukocyte stains with acidic dyes?
Eosinophils are leukocytes that stain with acidic dyes such as eosin. They are involved in the immune response to allergic reactions and parasitic infections.
What leukocyte reduces inflammation?
Eosinophils are a type of leukocyte that can help reduce inflammation, particularly in response to allergic reactions and parasitic infections. They release anti-inflammatory substances and modulate the immune response, contributing to the resolution of inflammation. Additionally, regulatory T cells (a subset of T lymphocytes) also play a crucial role in controlling inflammation by suppressing excessive immune responses.
What type of cell is a leukocyte?
Basophils, Eosinophils,& Neutrophils (BEN)
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.
