cytoplasmic granule

Numerous cytoplasmic granules are present in the more mature forms of myelocytes.

Basophils contain large cytoplasmic granules which obscure the cell nucleus under the microscope.

Toluidine Blue is often used to identify mast cells, by virtue of the heparin in their cytoplasmic granules.

It is also present in cytoplasmic granules of the polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN).

It is characterized by the appearance of a bent nucleus, cytoplasmic granules, and the absence of visible nucleoli.

The nucleus is fairly regular in contour (not indented), and seems to be 'buried' beneath the numerous cytoplasmic granules.

Immunohistochemistry can be used to identify the presence of CD68, which is found in the cytoplasmic granules of a range of different blood cells.

It is normally found in the cytoplasm, nucleus and in cytoplasmic granules of eosinophils and neutrophils.

The mast cell releases a mixture of compounds, including histamine, proteoglycans, serotonin, and serine proteases from its cytoplasmic granules.

Lymphoblasts can be distinguished microscopically from myeloblasts by having less distinct nucleoli, more condensed chromatin, and an absence of cytoplasmic granules.

Granzymes are serine proteases that are released by cytoplasmic granules within cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells.

Their names are derived from their staining characteristics; for example, the most abundant granulocyte is the neutrophil granulocyte, which has neutrally-staining cytoplasmic granules.

Theca interna (ti) showed more distinct LHR immunoreactivity, characterized by accumulation of LHR cytoplasmic granules.

Intratracheal instillation of cytoplasmic granules from Phleum pratense pollen induces IgE- and cell-mediated responses in the Brown Norway rat.

After ethanol fixation of PMNL, proteinase 3 remains within the cytoplasmic granules, whereas myeloperoxidase and elastase become extracted and locate close to or on the cell nucleus.

FSC correlates with the cell volume and SSC depends on the inner complexity of the particle (i.e., shape of the nucleus, the amount and type of cytoplasmic granules or the membrane roughness).

In the stratum granulosum, the "grainy" third layer of the human epidermis, the protein Keratohyalin forms dense cytoplasmic granules that promote dehydration of the cell as well as aggregation and cross-linking of the keratin fibers.

Activation of mast cells following engagement of FcεRI results in a process called degranulation, whereby the mast cell releases preformed molecules from its cytoplasmic granules; these are a mixture of compounds including histamine, proteoglycans, and serine proteases.
