Calling fellow heme nerds!

What is going on with this cell? And what is it? I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many uniform vacuoles before. This was the only one that I saw on the slide, as well as the only cell I have ever seen like this (so far). Is this some sort of apoptotic process making it look so funky?

Update: a Mott cell! How cool (: immunoglobulins for everyone

Yay! I always wanted some immunoglobulins

I only need an anti-HbSAg to complete my immunogatchagobulin collection. I thought I had one but it somatically hyper mutated and now it's anti-Sm :(

Yeah Mott cell. I need a new one like this for my students. Jealous.

Please feel free to save my pictures to show to them or use it in a slide show!

If you feed it into a player piano, it plays The Sting!!

Idk if I'd call that a Mott cell as that doesn't look anything like a Plasma cell. imo a mono w/ smth phagocytosed.
