Normal and pathological morphology of blood cells of experimental animals
Abstract
To better understand the presence and function of blood cells and their role in normal physiology and in disease conditions, the use of animal models facilitates initial basic research. This Chapter provides information about blood cells from commonly used experimental animals, and their properties that may affect blood optics (e.g., sizes, shapes, presence of nucleus), that will be of use in the research and development of new technologies and procedures for in vivo and ex vivo imaging of blood cells in humans and animals for research and diagnostic purposes.
