Guinea pig bone marrow basophilopoiesis.

A M Dvorak, R A Monahan

    Journal of Experimental Pathology
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Sheep blood injections in guinea pigs stimulate basophil production. Electron microscopy revealed early blast expansion and granule formation, aiding in understanding basophil development and identification.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Cell Biology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Normal bone marrow composition includes neutrophils, lymphocytes, plasma cells, macrophages, red blood cell precursors, megakaryocytes, and myeloblasts.
    • Basophil lineage cells and blasts are infrequently observed in normal guinea pig bone marrow.
    • Understanding basophilopoiesis is crucial for immune system research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the process of basophilopoiesis in guinea pigs.
    • To characterize the morphological changes during basophil development in vivo.
    • To identify the role of the Golgi apparatus and vesicles in basophil granule formation.

    Main Methods:

    • Guinea pigs received daily injections of sheep blood for 14 days.
    • Bone marrow preparations were analyzed using electron microscopy at regular intervals.
    • Morphological changes in bone marrow cells were documented throughout the study.

    Main Results:

    • Sheep blood injections induced a significant expansion of blasts and young basophilic myelocytes, followed by mature basophils.
    • A generalized granulocytic proliferation and an increase in megakaryocytes were observed.
    • Electron microscopy revealed the origin of immature basophil granules from the Golgi apparatus, involving vesicle-containing structures.

    Conclusions:

    • This study establishes a model for in vivo basophilopoiesis in guinea pigs.
    • The findings elucidate the role of the Golgi apparatus and vesicles in granulogenesis.
    • The observed in vivo granulogenesis is similar to accelerated in vitro processes and aids in identifying mouse basophilic myelocytes.
