The lining of the cyst consists of basoloid cells with indistinct cell borders and basophilic nuclei that mature into the eosinophilic anucleated squamous cells.
22.
It is called a basophil because it is basophilic ( readily takes up bases ), and typically stains a relatively deep blue or purple.
23.
In the peripheral blood, T-PLL consists of medium-sized lymphocytes with single nucleoli and basophilic cytoplasm with occasional blebs or projections.
24.
Most of the expression is in the proerythroblast ( P ) stage, and a minor amount in the basophilic erythroblast ( B ) stage.
25.
Basophilic dyes such as aniline or ( weakly ) haematoxylin highlight negatively charged components, and so bind to the phosphate backbone of the ribosomal RNA.
26.
Anemia of chronic disease shows unremarkable RBCs, iron deficiency shows anisocytosis, anisochromia and elliptocytosis, and thalessemias demonstrate target cells and coarse basophilic stippling.
27.
Infected cells have prominent intranuclear occlusions that initially stain eosinophilic, but become basophilic with age; hypertrophied nuclei with chromatin margination; and cytoplasmic clearing.
28.
Surrounding this is a peripheral rim of myriad, round, lightly basophilic merozoites which measure ~ 1.0 2.0 mm in diameter.
29.
Simplistically, acid pH stains ( positive charge ) are attracted to the base pH tissue ( negative charge ), so they are called " basophilic stains ".
30.
The structures do not have to be acidic or basic to be called basophilic and eosinophilic; the terminology is based on the affinity of cellular components for the dyes.
