Quantitative data have been reported for these cell types in health and comparisons have been made with those in disease states. In monocytes, and in macrophages developing from them, subtle ultrastructural differences have been detected and quantitated in malignant lymphoma; as the mononuclear phagocytes were not themselves neoplastic, the changes may have related to defects in host defence. Change in the ultrastructural characteristics of leukaemic monoblasts have also been reported. Lymphocytes and malignant lymphoid cells have been extensively investigated: differences between different types and subsets have been shown to be present in both normal lymphocytes and their malignant counterparts in leukaemias and lymphomas. Particular attention has been paid to morphometric assessment of nuclear shape and size in these disorders and to its possible value as a diagnostic tool. Granulocytes have so far been the subject of few morphometric studies, although in hypereosinophilic syndrome, cellular changes have been defined and have thrown light on the abnormal pattern of degranulation. There have also been scattered reports on the cells of acute myelogenous leukaemia. The use of computers and sophisticated statistical packages has greatly facilitated the application of multiple comparison procedures and has permitted discriminant analysis to be carried out where appropriate.</p><p>This review shows that ultrastructural morphometry of leucocytes will have an increasing application in clinical pathology.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":77112,"journal":{"name":"Electron microscopy reviews","volume":"4 1","pages":"Pages 179-195"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0892-0354(91)90020-D","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13033058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is demonstrated that plant mitochondrial and chloroplast DNAs are packaged into deoxynucleoprotein fibrils comprising nucleosome-like and nucleomere-like globules; the fibrils form loops and rosette-like structures with central proteinaceous components. A similar structure is characteristic of the subgenomic DNAs. The basic proteins involved in the formation of nucleosome-like globules are quite different from the nuclear histones, indeed the basic proteins from plant mitochondria and chloroplasts are also distinct. Some of the basic proteins share common antigens with the <em>E. coli</em> HU protein. The genetic code for the mitochondrial and chloroplast genes is universal. The only codon now thought to be different from the universal in the mitochondrial genome is corrected during post-transcriptional mRNA editing. There are two hexanucleotides in the promoters of the chloroplast genes homologous to the sequences in −10 and −35 regions of the prokaryotic genes promoters requisite for transcription. Promoter sequences of the plant mitochondria genes responsible for transcription regulation were not identified. Immunoelectronmicroscopic evidence suggest that mitochondrial and chloroplast RNA polymerases have antigens in common with the β-subunit of <em>E. coli</em> RNA polymerase. It is shown that the mitochondrial genes are intensely transcribed in the dark and repressed by illumination. Electron microscopy demonstrated that about 70% of plant mitochondria contain numerous RNA polymerase molecules in the dark, but this percentage falls to 10–15% after light exposure.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":77112,"journal":{"name":"Electron microscopy reviews","volume":"4 2","pages":"Pages 221-247"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0892-0354(91)90004-V","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13091226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
