White Blood Cell Alkaline Phosphatase Stain

A blood sample is treated with a stain that reveals how much of an enzyme called alkaline phosphatase sits inside the white blood cells, and the stained cells are then scored under a microscope. The pattern helps separate different reasons for a high white blood cell count.
