Abstract
RECENTLY there have been several reports on nuclear blebs found in human leukaemic cells1 and in human bone marrow cells of leukaemic patients on drug therapy2. Similar nuclear structures have also been found in developing human3 and guinea-pig4 thymocytes, and possibly in Burkitt's lymphoma5. Anderson6 noted identical nuclear structures in myeloblasts from patients with treated and untreated acute myelocytic leukaemia and referred to them as nuclear loops.
