Electron Microscopy and Ultracytochemistry of Blood Lymphocytes Containing Gall Bodies in Healthy Individuals

Afanasyeva V.V., Zak K.P., Butenko A.K.

The authors have conducted electron microscopic and ultracytochemical studies of blood lymphocytes of healthy individuals containing Gall bodies (GB) which are typical for CD4+ cell subpopulation. It has been established that GB have quite a complex submicroscopic structure and together with its derivates, granules-satellites, as well as mitochondria, microfilaments, rough endoplasmic reticulum canaliculi, and Golgi complex it forms a unique active functional complex. GB show a high activity of acid phosphatase and positive reaction to glycogen. The data obtained suggest the leading role of GB in the production of cytokins and other biologically active substances.
