Lymphocytes are small when not activated. The nucleus is far more prominent than the cytoplasm

The Megakaryocyte is a very large cell. They are the factories for producing Platelets which bud off from this cell bone-marrow cell.

Labelling via TdT (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase reaction)
Staining to measure BrdU incorporation for data in the previous slide was by partially denaturing the DNA to expose BrdU epitope for a specific antibody to this nucleotide analogue. But this reduces binding of the dye which stains double-stranded DNA.
Another method relies on the breakage of DNA strands at BrdU sites upon exposure to UV light.
February 2008 [email protected] 39
upon exposure to UV light.
The DNA ends generated in this way can be labelled using the enzyme TdT, which can add radio-, fluorescent-, biotin-, or digoxygenin-labelled deoxynucleotides to the ends of DNA.
This method is also used to show DNA fragmentation in cells undergoing apoptosis.

Apoptotic cell phosphatidyl-serine flips from inner to outer membrane. Annexinebinds to it.
Unlike necrotic cells, live and early apoptoticcells exclude the dye propidium iodide which stains the DNA.
