The dire wolf (Canis dirus, fearsome dog) is an extinct species of the genus Canis. It is perhaps one of the most famous prehistoric carnivores in North America along with its extinct competitor Smilodon, the sabre-toothed cat.
It is important they remain at adequate levels. As with platelets, neutrophil levels may become depressed in patients on myelosuppressive therapy such as imatinib mesylate (also called IM , Gleevec or Glivec ). The normal range of the percentage of neutrophils is between 45% and 70%. More important than the percentage of neutrophils is the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) , which should fall between 1.0 to 8.0 k/ul.
Absolute Neutrophil Count Calculator. Neutrophils are type of white blood cells that forms the immune system to fight against the infection. The measure of the number of the neutrophils (segmented neutrophils % + bands %) is the absolute neutrophil count (ANC). The normal range of the ANC is 1.5 to 8.0 (i.e.,) 1500 - 8000 cells/mm^3. The safe ANC is from 500 - 1500 whereas, low ANC is below 500.
