Abstract
The plasma cell variants containing Russell bodies are grouped under the common term Mott cells. Such a plasma cell subtype, characterized by abundant clear vesicles or "spherules", was described by Mott as early as in 1905. Mott cells occur in normal lymph nodes and bone marrow of humans and animals [1, 2]. The cells appear in large numbers in the lymph nodes of autoimmunized mice, in chronic inflammation infiltrates, as well as in the course of such diseases as lymphatic leukosis, erythromatosis, and myeloma [2,3,5,8]. Until now nobody has described the presence of Mott cells in the lymph. The aim of this study was the investigation of the phenotypic features of lymph-obtained Mott cells and a quantitative analysis of them under normal conditions and in atherosclerosis.
