1.1 POJA-L767. Band-form of neutrophilic granulocyte (peripheral blood, human)
1.1 POJA-L767
Title: Band-form of neutrophilic granulocyte (peripheral blood, human)
Description: Electron microscopy.
Transition from late metamyelocyte to band form (9-12 mm). These are the earliest stages of the motile two-lobed neutrophilic granulocytes.
(1): A slightly bended nucleus with a nucleolus.
(2): Golgi area.
Apart from a few mitochondria (3) and profiles of rough endoplasmic reticulum (4) and some glycogen a considerable amount of granules of varying sizes and densities is present. Many of the granules (5) are primary granules with spherical or ellipsoid forms (‘non-specific’ or light-microscopic azurophilic). They contain myeloperoxidase as an antibacterial substance but also acid hydrolases as acid phosphatase, arylsulfatase, b-glucuronidase. See POJA-L604 legends for the characteristics of the different types of granules.
Keywords/Mesh: blood, bone marrow, band form, neutrophilic granulocyte, primary granule, azurophilic granule, histology, electron microscopy, POJA collection
