polymorphonuclearadj.n.

Brit.

/ˌpɒlɪmɔːfəʊˈnjuːklɪə/, U.S.

/ˈˌpɑliˌmɔrfoʊˈn(j)ukliər/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a German lexical item. Etymons: polymorpho- comb. form, nuclear adj.

Etymology: < polymorpho- comb. form + nuclear adj., after German polymorphkernig (1896 or earlier). Compare earlier polynuclear adj.

Medicine and Physiology.

A. adj.

Of a leucocyte: having a nucleus with lobules of various shapes; spec. designating a neutrophil. Also: of or relating to such cells.

1897 R. C. Cabot Guide Clin. Exam. Blood i. v. 49 Next in age come the cells usually known as ‘polynuclear’ but more properly called polymorphonuclear neutrophiles. These cells constitute the vast majority of those found in ordinary pus.

1901 Brit. Med. Jrnl. 29 June 1606 The polymorphonuclear leucocytes are essentially derived from the bone marrow.

1928 Times 7 Dec. 16/1 Blood counts have shown a leucocytosis of the polymorphonuclear variety.

1999 New Scientist 13 Mar. 105/1 Green pus (or green nasal mucus) is caused by iron-containing myelo-peroxidases and other oxidases and peroxidases used by polymorphonuclear (PMN) granulocytes (neutrophils).

B. n.

A polymorphonuclear leucocyte; a neutrophil.

1903 Amer. Jrnl. Med. Sci. 126 190 A differential count of the leucocytes shows a slight increase in the polymorphonuclears.

1950 Brain 73 144 An early puncture gave 10 polymorphonuclears and 3 lymphocytes per c.mm.

2001 Jrnl. Pineal Res. 31 248 The total number of white blood cells (lymphocytes, polymorphonuclears, and monocytes) and the assessment of the sub-populations of blood lymphocytes..did not show any significant differences between the two groups.
