As opposed to red blood cells, these cells form the major part of the human immune system. They are white because they are not red, not having the red pigment haemoglobin.

A high white cell count on a complete blood count usually indicates an active infectious process.

Types of white blood cells:

• Macrophages
• Neutrophils
• Monocytes
• Lymphocytes
  • T cells
    • helper T cells
    • cytotoxic T cells
  • B cells
• Eosinophils
• Basophils

Also the latest album from the White Stripes (who seem to be gaining popularity in the worthwhile music scene, and deservingly so. Quite a mix of styles on this album: the folk influence is evident on track 2 ("Hotel Yorba"), while other songs have more of a rock feel. Their Beatles influence is also heard on several White Blood Cells tracks, and track 9, "We're Going to Be Friends" seems inspired by the songs of the 50's, when rock was very young. And hats off to Meg White, the girl drummer. That's a rare thing nowadays.
