This test measures the amount of monocytes in blood. Monocytes are a type of white blood cell (WBC). This test is used to evaluate and manage blood disorders, certain problems with the immune system, and cancers, including monocytic leukemia[1].
Monocytes are a type of white blood cell which circulate in the blood. The CAE virus cannot replicate inside a monocyte but its genome (called a provirus) is carried to all tissues of the body without being detected by the immune system.When a monocyte migrates to body tissues it matures into a macrophage.he CAE virus will know that it is near a monocyte or macrophage because the envelope protein on the surface of the virus will fit only with a cell surface protein that exists only on goat (and sheep) monocyte/ macrophage cells.
