| Description |
Stain: May-Grnwald-Giemsa (MGG). The mature plasma cell has a large basophilic cytoplasma for IgG production, a clearly visible unstained (white) Golgi area, and a nucleus with well-condensed heterochromatin. Plasma cells can be found in the peripheral blood as a result of antigenic stimulation or certain infectious diseases (especially virus diseases). Abnormal plasma cells in the blood indicate a mature B-cell neoplasm. |
