A reagent for classification and counting of leukocytes, the reagent containing at least one dye which has the following structural formula <CHEM> where R1 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, R2 and R3 each represent a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group or a lower alkoxy group, R4 represents a hydrogen atom, an acyl group or an alkyl group, Z represents a sulfur atom, an oxygen atom, or a carbon atom having a lower alkyl group, n denotes 0, 1 or 2, and X<-> represents an anion, and specifically binds to RNA to increase in fluorescence intensity, and a method for classification and counting of leukocytes which uses the reagent, whereby abnormal cells such as immature leukocytes and abnormal leukocytes can be classified and counted easily and highly accurately, and at the same time, classification and counting of normal leukocytes as well as the counting of leukocytes can be performed. |
