Description |
Electron microscopy. Accumulation of few plasma cells. These mature plasma cells exhibit in their cytoplasm's dilated rough endoplasmic reticula (1) filled with electron-grey material (antibodies) as well as electron-dense granules (3) of varying sizes confirming their secretory activities. (2) indicates the juxta-nuclearly located elaborate Golgi area with secretion vacuoles. These electron-dense granules (3) are made up of accumulated (crystalline) immunoglobulins, within the lumen of the rough endoplasmic reticulum cisternae (so-called Russell bodies). Hyper stimulation might result in the formation of these Russell bodies, easily detectable in light microscopy. (4) collagen fibers in the nose septum. |
