White blood: cells concentration

Question

Anyone knows of a table with average concentration that can be found in white blood?

Something like:

Neutrophils - 80%
Mast cells - ?%
Dendritic cells - ?%
B cells - ?%
Helper T cells - ?%
Killer T cells - ?%
Natural killers - ?%
Others - (whatever is left) (the sum should be 100%, of course :))

Also: are helper T cells and killer T cells visually different? I can only find pictures of T cells, but not of each. I am also unable to find pictures of natural killers. - Thank you!

You mean the concentration of these cells in the blood of "normal" and healthy people? — Chris, May 12 '15 at 10:37

@Luigi, I have looked up wikipedia. It does not discriminate lymphocytes nor does its source. — Ricardo Magalhães Cruz, May 13 '15 at 11:25

Here are some figures from Cellular and Molecular Immunology, 8th Edition:

Hopefully they're helpful in some way.

Perfect. That's exactly what I needed - btw, do you know if (and why) it is so rare to find photos of helper T cells, killer T cells and B cells? (I can only seem to find pictures of the lymphocyte class ...) – Ricardo Magalhães Cruz May 13 '15 at 11:26
I'm a little confused as to what you mean by photos. Like bright field, scanning electron, transmission electron, etc? – CKM May 13 '15 at 15:31
Yes, pictures of Th, Tc and B cells... I can only find picture of generic lymphocytes. (I am not a biologist!) ps: I know Th,Tc,B,etc are all lymphocytes, but I would like to have pictures of each, if those exist. Do you think they do? – Ricardo Magalhães Cruz May 14 '15 at 23:57
