Monocytes are the largest leukocytes, typically two to three times the diameter of a red blood cell. When they leave the bloodstream, they differentiate into macrophages, which are known as "free macrophages" in tissues. Lymphocytes are smaller and have different functions (immune response). Basophils are involved in allergic reactions and are not the largest. Eosinophils are also not the largest and are involved in combating parasitic infections and allergic responses.
