Genes that maintain the B-cell phenotype include PAX5 (master regulator of B cells), BACH2, and BCL-6. Yemil Atisha-Fregoso, ... Betty Diamond, in Dubois' Lupus Erythematosus and Related Syndromes (Ninth Edition), 2019, Plasma cells are responsible for antibody production. I'm not sure what is best for macrophages but would suggest CD14, CD68, and/or EMR antibody. These are the largest type of white blood cells, and can be up to 20µm in diameter. Plasma cells and their secreted antibodies are of central importance in humoral immune protection but also play a critical role in diseases where antibodies have a pathological role. Normal peripheral blood plasma cells are CD45+. Grade 1: Example A: Plasma cells at the upper and upper right edges of this collection of lymphocytes represent just barely more than approximately 10% of the lymphoid cells. Plasma cells are the effector cells dedicated to the production of a high amount of antibodies, while the immunological memory is maintained by memory B cells that are the effectors of rapid immunological response upon later exposure to the same antigen (Klein and Dalla-Favera, 2008). ... tissue processing, the vacuoles can appear empty. These are involved in the synthesis of a particular immunoglobulin. FIGURE 2. These Russell bodies, which may measure up to 20 µm in diameter, result from the accumulation of immunoglobulins and glycoproteins in the cytoplasm.128 They are PAS positive and diastase resistant. Furthermore, it is apparent from analyzing these mice that among the steady-state plasma cell populations of mice, two amounts of Blimp1 are expressed: intermediate (Blimp1int) and high (Blimp1hi). MT Moonim, A Porwit, in Blood and Bone Marrow Pathology (Second Edition), 2011. Immunohistochemically, normal plasma cells express CD19 (membrane), CD79a (intense cytoplasmic), CD138 (membrane) and MUM-1 (strong nuclear positivity with a lighter cytoplasmic blush); they are CD20 and CD45 negative. 2002). Therefore, BLIMP-1 is often viewed as a key regulator of plasma cell differentiation (Shaffer et al. Bright CD38 expression with coexpression of CD56 is used to detect abnormal populations of plasma cells by flow cytometry. 292 0 obj

The commitment to plasma cell lineage is associated with marked changes in morphology and gene expression. Platelet Platelets (thrombocytes) are small cell fragments that plug damage blood vessel walls and are … 226-227 Google Scholar X240. David Weedon AO MD FRCPA FCAP(HON), in Weedon's Skin Pathology (Third Edition), 2010. Copyright © 1993 The American College of Chest Physicians. Russell bodies are particularly prominent in the inflammatory infiltrate in rhinoscleroma. This study was supported by a grant from Glaxo BV, the Netherlands. Plasma cell myeloma. Furthermore, cells within the Blimp1int population had many of the characteristics previously attributed to PBs and immature plasma cells whereas the Blimp1hi population had characteristics of mature plasma cells [12]. Initial BAL fluid samples of 1,260 patients were analyzed. Many of the … BAFF and APRIL sustain survival of plasma cells.43 This survival effect is mediated in the bone marrow by APRIL and its receptor, B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA). Mast Cells are found close to small blood vessels in loose connective tissue. FcγRIIb, the only FcR expressed on B cells, negatively affects plasma cell survival, suggesting a negative feedback for antibody production. Another excellent marker is Ly6G (using clone 1A8), which is found in the plasma membrane of neutrophils. Cells of typical lymphoid tissue include the fibroblast-like reticular cells (R) which produce and maintain the trabeculae (T) and reticulin framework. However, immature plasma cells generally remain responsive to chemotactic signals and express B cell markers at lower levels than PBs and plasma cell markers at lower levels than the most mature plasma cells. 0
Crystalloid inclusions, iron, and even bacteria have been found in the cytoplasm of plasma cells in various circumstances.127, Numerous basophilic extracellular bodies, reminiscent of yeast cells, have been found in the dermis in association with plasma cell infiltrates.129 These structures, known as plasma cell bodies, may measure up to 5 µm in diameter and are derived from the cytoplasm of plasma cells.129. 0: None (69%) Plasma cells < 10% of inflammatory infiltrate, 1: Mild (15%): Plasma cells >10% and <50% of inflammatory infiltrate, 2: Moderate (16%): Plasma cells >50% of inflammatory infiltrate. Tucker W LeBien, in Fetal and Neonatal Physiology (Fifth Edition), 2017. Macrophage. The B-cell signaling threshold helps regulate the choice between extrafollicular plasma cell and germinal center development as well as whether post-germinal center B cells will become plasma cells or memory B cells [123, 125]. 257 0 obj

D. Allman, D.L. Plasma cells in PCM and related disorders are monoclonal and express only one type of Ig light chain. Plasma cells are also present in significant numbers, albeit low frequency, in bone marrow.
