[[WMG: The body from ''Manga/CellsAtWorkCodeBlack'' belongs to a recently-divorced middle-aged {{Salaryman}}.]]
Being middle-aged would make poor health more likely due to age, so when crises hit they hit hard; being a salaryman would contribute to ongoing stress, given that the spikes we see are noted as being 'even higher than normal,' and explains why the stress is chronic. Salarymen often have poor diets due to grabbing meals when they can, and that, plus post-work drinking, brings down general health. The recent crisis is a result of the divorce: It's noted that he stopped smoking ten years ago but started again, so he likely stopped when he met or married his wife and resumed after she left. His poor hygiene and lack of self-care is depression resulting from the divorce and his poor diet is a mix of indifference and an inability to cook, as many Japanese men rely on their wives for meals. Excessive drinking is also frequently a sign of depression. His erectile dysfunction is caused by depression as well as stress, as it's noted that erections "used to be more frequent," as in when he was still with his wife. Her departure also explains the unsafe sex, probably with a prostitute given that it resulted in an STD. Plus, [[spoiler:heart attacks]] are a stereotypical risk for salarymen.

[[WMG: Alternately, it's [[Anime/KillLaKill Mako Mankanshoku.]]]]
* In episode 4 of ''Anime/KillLaKill'', Mako screams with a very similar visual effect to Red Blood Cell's "screaming mouth inside the screaming mouth" thing. Also, between Mako's [[TheDitz ditziness]], her father being a BackAlleyDoctor, and her usual proximity to Ryuko and all the fights she gets in, her suffering so many injuries and illnesses isn't at all unbelievable.
(Side note: This might mean the line "Don't lose your way" isn't being sung to Ryuko, but Red Blood Cell.

*Sickle trait would fit even better: 1. She gets stuck, but only a little, in capillaries. A true sickle cell would have serious problems getting out of the capillary and post-capillary venules every time. 2. She is good in tough situations (i.e. hypovolemic shock) and the sickle gene persists because it protects the body against malaria, an anemic stress. 3. There are no other similar cells, so she's likely a mutation late in the differentiation process. One mutation in the beta-globin gene is easier to believe than two, so sickle trait is more likely that sickle cell. 4. Her hair is sickled, but her hat is normal shape, which suggests not a full sickle cell.

*Agreeing with the above; NK-T cells are among the rarest - if not '''the''' rarest - white blood cells, comprising only 0.1% of Lymphocytes, making the rare Basophil at least ten times more common. They would be the white blood cell equivalent of the US Navy Seals or various Green Beret/Commando divisions of other militaries, it might be even better to compare them to elite units of those already elite divisions such as the US Seal Team 6, the British Black Fox units during the during the Cold War and the similar безымянный/"Nameless" KGB special ops units of the Soviet Union. These cells would be the absolute elite of the immune system - in universe anyway; in truth they're much like the basophils in that we have a general idea of some of their capabilities but the full picture is still quite murky, which sort of fits with a top secret black ops unit of elite soldiers.

[[WMG: The age of the cells reflect the age of the body.]]
With the obvious exception of the platelets, all of the cells we see are within a non-specific young adult range. This is the same age that the body they are inside currently is. As the body gets older, this same generalized age increases, until it reaches the point where stem cells rapidly mature into old age before being differentiated. This could serve as a metaphor for how the body becomes less and less efficient as it ages, ultimately leading to its death.

Considering that NK-T cells are very few in number with an specialized but important role, they'd probably be an elite military unit the way Killer T cells are akin to S.W.A.T., with black military uniforms and a stronger MildlyMilitary flavor. Since NK-T cells perform functions that mirror those of other cells, they could show up as a FiveManBand where each has a specialty that echoes one of the other cell types: TheBigGuy is the Killer T-like brawler, TheLancer is the NK-like swordsman, there's a Dendritic cell-like motivator/troll, etc. Lack of NK-T cells can lead to increased risk of cancer, so we might see these guys if there's ever a Cancer Cell the Third.
