The precipitation is the result of oxidative injury to hemoglobin by drugs or by the denaturation of unstable mutant hemoglobins. -The bites can range from large "bites" to tiny "nibbles". http://xtremetechacademy.com/research/lba/bite-cell -Fine, medium or coarse blue granules with uniform distribution within the red cell. -Represents ribosomal RNA which is precipitated during staining. -Found in conditions such as thalassemia, hemoglobinopathies, sideroblastic anemias, heavy metal poisioning and pyrimidine-5'- nucleotidase deficiency. http://xtremetechacademy.com/research/lba/basophillic-stippling -The cells mimic the netrophils in size shape and nuclear maturation. -Characterized by small to moderate number of coarse, densely stained granules of different sizes and shapes. -The color of the granules is bluish-black but some may stain purple or purple-red. -The granules are unevenly distributed and frequently overlie the nucleus. http://xtremetechacademy.com/research/lba/basophil -Same size or slightly smaller than metamyelocytes. -Nucleus may be central or eccentric and is indented (to more than half of the distance to the farthest nuclear margin). The nucleus appears in the shape of a band, sausage, letter C or U. Small extensions of appendages of the nucleus may be ... http://xtremetechacademy.com/research/lba/band -Resemble the large primary granules of promyelocytes. -Large, purple of purplish-black, coarse azurophilic granules -Characteristic of Alder-Reilly anomaly. http://xtremetechacademy.com/research/lba/alder-reilly-granules
