Abstract
A Moloney murine leukemia virus-induced T-cell preleukemic thymic lymphoma tissue culture from an inbred C3H/HeJ mouse contained numerous hand mirror cells (HMC). The cells were studied by light and phase-contrast microscopy, special stains, indirect immunofluorescence for terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase, and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The uropods of the mouse and human HMC were similar. In contrast, viruses were noted on the tip of the mouse HMC uropod by transmission electron microscopy. These observations, reported for the first time in an animal model, will enable investigators to study the HMC under controlled conditions.
