PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reagent and a method capable of simply and accurately classifying and counting abnormal cells such as immature leukocytes and abnormal leukocytes, and simultaneously performing classification and counting of normal leukocytes and counting of leukocytes. . SOLUTION: The reagent for leukocyte classification and counting, which comprises at least one dye which specifically binds to RNA represented by the following structural formula and has an increased fluorescence intensity: (Wherein R 1 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group; R 2 and R 3 are a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group or a lower alkoxy group; R 4 Is a hydrogen atom, an acyl group, or an alkyl group; Z is sulfur, oxygen, or a carbon having a lower alkyl group; n is 0, 1 or 2; X - is an anion); Leukocyte classification and counting method. |
