Intranuclear inclusion bodies in epithelial cells of human vas deferens. 1979

J Chakraborty, and L Nelson, and J Jhunjhunwala, and M Young, and K Kropp

Four different types of inclusion bodies were seen within the nucleus of the principal cells in segments of vas deferens from 40 fertile males: (1) electron-dense homogeneous bodies of various sizes (0.1--1.8 microns) and shapes, (2) granular bodies approximately 0.06--0.12 microns, (3) lipid inclusion bodies, and (4) less electron-dense, filamentous bodies. They were either membrane-bound or free within the nucleoplasm. Some membranous material was scattered within the nucleoplasm. The internal structure of nuclei containing these bodies differed from cell to cell. The nucleoplasm was composed either of dense granular elements or fine filamentous components. The aggregation and density of the ground nuclear material increased with increasing numbers of inclusion bodies. Very dense nuclei were in cells with typical features of degeneration. Frequently, extruded parts of cells or entire cells were seen within the lumen of the vas deferens.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
D002479 Inclusion Bodies A generic term for any circumscribed mass of foreign (e.g., lead or viruses) or metabolically inactive materials (e.g., ceroid or MALLORY BODIES), within the cytoplasm or nucleus of a cell. Inclusion bodies are in cells infected with certain filtrable viruses, observed especially in nerve, epithelial, or endothelial cells.
