A band cell (also called band neutrophil or stab cell) is a cell undergoing granulopoiesis, derived from a metamyelocyte, and leading to a mature granulocyte. It is characterized by having a nucleus which is curved, but not lobar.The term band cell implies a granulocytic lineage (e.g. neutrophils).n increase in band neutrophils typically means that the bone marrow has been signaled to release more WBCs and increase production of WBCs, also known as a left shift . Most often this is due to infection or inflammation in the body.
Bandemia refers to an excess of band cells (immature white blood cells) released by the bone marrow into the blood. The ICD diagnosis code for bandemia is 288.66.
