This is a list of Immune cells, also known as white blood cells, white cells, leukocytes, or leucocytes, are cells involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders.[1]

Eosinophil Granulocyte Eosinophil - Eosinophiles

- Acidophils

12-15 - Larger Parasites

- Modulate allergic inflammatory responses

[2],[3]
Basophil Granulocyte Basophil (NA) 12-15 - Release histamine for inflammatory responses [2],[3]
Mast Cell Granulocyte Mast Cell - Mastocyte
