Bands/Stabs. Early in the response to infection, immature forms of neutrophils will be seen. These are call Stab or Band cells. The presence of these immature cells is called a shift to the left and can be the earliest sign of a WBC response, even before the WBC becomes elevated.

A sensor's sensitivity indicates how much the sensor's output changes when the input quantity being measured changes. For instance, if the mercury in a thermometer moves 1 cm when the temperature changes by 1 Â°C, the sensitivity is 1 cm/Â°C (it is basically the slope Dy/Dx assuming a linear characteristic).
