Circulating plasma cells with Russell bodies in osteosclerotic myeloma.
A 58-year-old white female had severe bone pain for 1 week. Increased levels of free l light chain (2423 mg/L) were present in the serum with decreased levels of all immunoglobulins. The complete blood count and differential were within normal limits. The peripheral blood smear had increased rouleaux formation and atypical plasma cells containing numerous cytoplasmic Russell bodies (panel A). T...
متن کاملRestricted kappa chain expression in early ontogeny: biased utilization of V kappa exons and preferential V kappa-J kappa recombinations
To determine the extent of kappa chain diversity in the preimmune repertoire early in development, kappa cDNA libraries were analyzed from 15-d old fetal omentum, 18-d-old fetal liver, and 3-wk old bone marrow. An anchored polymerase chain reaction approach was used to avoid bias for particular V kappa families. From the sequence analysis of 27 bone marrow clones, 10 different families and 20 u...
متن کاملUltrastructure of plasma cells containing Russell bodies in human stomach and thyroid.
The fine structure is illustrated of plasma cells containing Russell bodies. The material is from chronic inflammatory cell infiltrates in human gastric mucosa and thyroid glands in Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. It is noted that the Russell bodies lie in distended cisternae of rough endoplasmic reticulum and are easily distinguished from less electron-dense ;secretory granules' c...
متن کاملAccumulation of prion protein in tonsil and appendix: review of tissue samples.
Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is almost certainly caused by the bovine spongiform encephalopathy agent, and although the disease is rare (115 deaths to date) there is uncertainty about future numbers of cases. The lack of a conventional immune response and the inability to detect abnormal prion protein in blood has hampered the development of a blood test. Lymphoreticular accumulation of pr...
متن کاملThe Nature of Russell Bodies and Kurloff Bodies: Observations on the Cytochemistry of Plasma Cells and Reticulum Cells.
This paper describes the use of cytochemical methods to demonstrate the presence of a polysaccharide-containing substance which is either mucoprotein or glycoprotein in the cytoplasm of plasmacells and reticulum cells, in Russell bodies, and in the Kurloff bodies of guinea-pig lymphocytes. The work is based on the observation that the cytoplasm of a proportion of plasma cells stains pink by the...
