Das Vorkommen und histochemische Verhalten von Russellschen K�rperchen bei plasmacellul�ren Hautinfiltraten

Light and electron microscopic studies on colloid and other cytoid bodies*

“…However, by observation of the criteria listed in Table 3, it is possible to identify them and differentiate them from several other groups of cell-sized amorphous aggregates. The variability of the morphological appearance and the chemical composition of Russel bodies has been recognized for many years in light microscopy (Pearse, 1949;Tappeiner et al, 1965). However, in the electron microscopic literature Russel bodies were usually referred to as amorphous electron dense masses within the endoplasmic reticulum of plasma cells (Fukuhara et al, 1975;White, 1964).…”
