[Ultrastructural heterogeneity and assumed mode of formation of Mallory bodies in acute alcoholic hepatitis and in experimental hepatitis].

Abstract

Mallory bodies (MB) are characteristic features of human and experimental hepatitis they exhibit, by electron microscope, an heterogeneous structure. We propose a mode of formation of such MB, which would take place un a progressive way from simple form (bundles of microfilaments) to complex form (typical MB).
