Description
WBCs or leukocytes are blood cells that are innate to the immune system. The differential Leukocyte test or the DLC test investigates the percent of different WBC types in the blood.
Total Leukocyte Count or the TLC test measures the total number of WBCs or leukocytes in the body. To sum up, the TLC DLC test investigates the WBC credentials in the blood.
Overview of the DLC Test
- Transports oxygen and nutrients to the lungs and other organs.
- Clots during injury to prevent blood loss.
- Transports cells and antibodies to fight infections.
- Carries waste to kidneys and liver to clean and filter the waste.
- Regulate body temperature.
The blood and its components need to be in ideal reference ranges while carrying out the essential body functions. The blood is an aggregate of blood plasma and blood cells- red blood cells (RBC) or erythrocytes, white blood cells (WBC) or leukocytes, and platelets or thrombocytes.
The DLC or the Differential Leukocyte Count measures the percentage of various WBC types in the blood. The DLC test informs about the presence of immature WBCs that lead to anomalies like anaemia, leukaemia, and infections.

Why it's done
WBCs are the type of blood cells that are produced in the bone marrow and present in the blood and lymph system. They aid the immune system fight infections. There are five major WBC types.
- Neutrophils: The most common WBC type that helps destroy microorganisms or pathogens causing infections.
- Lymphocytes: Lymphocytes are distinguished into three types. B-cells, T-cells, and Natural Killer Cells. The B-cells take the help of antibodies to destroy the pathogenic viruses and bacteria in the body. T-cells destroy the body’s cells infected by pathogens or tumour cells. Natural killer cells eventually kill all the foreign cells marked by antibodies as cancer cells or infected cells by phagocytosis.
- Monocytes: They form a defensive system against the pathogens attacking them.
- Eosinophils: Helps fight inflammation, infections, and allergies.
- Basophils: Defends by producing enzymes essential to fight allergic reactions and asthma.
