− | [[Monocytes|Monocytes]] are generally the largest leucocyte and have a nucleus that is ovoid and indented (often bean shaped). The cytoplasm usually stain blue-gray and often is vacuolated. The monocytes range is generally between 0 and 10% of the differential and may increase in chronic infections. | + | [[Monocytes|Monocytes]] are generally the largest leucocyte and have a nucleus that is ovoid and indented (often bean shaped).
