- Title
Beginning of the whips: Proposed sequence in the formation of whip‐like heterophil projections.
- Authors
Stacy, Nicole I.; Harvey, John W.
- Abstract
This article, published in Veterinary Clinical Pathology, discusses the formation of whip-like heterophil projections in blood and cytology specimens from reptiles, birds, and fish. The projections can be formed in vitro or in vivo, and their presence and frequency should be reported in diagnostic reports. The projections resemble heterophil extracellular traps (HETs) and may represent a stage of their formation. The pathways of HETosis have not been fully understood, but the projections appear to extend beyond cell membranes. The article includes images illustrating the proposed stages of projection formation.
