  2. Howell–Jolly body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HowellJolly_body

    A HowellJolly body (marked by arrow) within an erythrocyte. A HowellJolly body is a cytopathological finding of basophilic nuclear remnants (clusters of DNA) in circulating erythrocytes. During maturation in the bone marrow, late erythroblasts normally expel their nuclei; but, in some cases, a small portion of DNA remains. The presence of ...

  3. Howell-Jolly body-like inclusions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howell-Jolly_body-like...

    Howell-Jolly body-like inclusions (HJBLi) are a hematopathological finding of an inclusion arising from detached DNA nuclear fragment in white blood cells caused by dysplastic granulopoiesis. [1] The inclusion is aptly named for its similar appearance of the HowellJolly body in erythrocytes. [2] The term was coined in 1989. [2]

  4. Heinz body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinz_body

    Heinz body stain of feline blood, showing three distinct Heinz bodies. Heinz bodies appear as small round inclusions within the red cell body, though they are not visible when stained with Romanowsky dyes. They are visualized more clearly with supravital staining [5] [6] (e.g., with new methylene blue, crystal violet or bromocresol green).

  5. Splenectomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splenectomy

    Splenectomy patients typically have Howell-Jolly bodies [11] [12] and less commonly Heinz bodies in their blood smears. [13] Heinz bodies are usually found in cases of G6PD (Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase) and chronic liver disease. [14] A splenectomy also results in a greatly diminished frequency of memory B cells. [15]

  6. Hereditary spherocytosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hereditary_spherocytosis

    On a blood smear, Howell-Jolly bodies may be seen within red blood cells. Primary treatment for patients with symptomatic HS has been total splenectomy, which eliminates the hemolytic process, allowing for normal hemoglobin, reticulocyte and bilirubin levels. The resultant asplenic patient is susceptible to encapsulated bacterial infections ...

    A – Cabot ring B – Howell-Jolly body Cabot ring Cabot rings are thin, red-violet staining, threadlike strands in the shape of a loop or figure-8 that are found on rare occasions in red blood cells (erythrocytes).

  9. Inclusion bodies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusion_bodies

    Inclusion bodies have a non-unit (single) lipid membrane [citation needed].Protein inclusion bodies are classically thought to contain misfolded protein.However, this has been contested, as green fluorescent protein will sometimes fluoresce in inclusion bodies, which indicates some resemblance of the native structure and researchers have recovered folded protein from inclusion bodies.
