Everybody has WBCs. A test called a CBC for Complete Blood Count will count how many. A second part of the test is called the differential. That test counts how many different kinds of WBC that you have: neutrophils, immature neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils and basophils. Each type of WBC has a different role in protecting your immune system. A routine CBC's lymphocyte count does not distinguish between T and B lymphocytes. The CBC is a very common test and a sophisticated analyzer is used to perform this test. The differential can be performed on some of these cell counting analyzers or are performed manually by a medical technologist using a microscope.

Counting of white blood cells in an important part of a blood count. Even more important is a differential count of cell types that will diagnose infections of leukemia. Nowadays the WBC is done by a particle counting machine. A slide is made of the blood and stained for the differential count.
