Hematoxylin body, the Glossary
In diagnostic pathology, a hematoxylin body, or LE body, is a dense, homogeneous, basophilic particle, easily stainable with hematoxylin.[1]

Autoantibody
An autoantibody is an antibody (a type of protein) produced by the immune system that is directed against one or more of the individual's own proteins. Hematoxylin body and autoantibody are autoimmune diseases.
See Hematoxylin body and Autoantibody
Basophilic
Basophilic is a technical term used by pathologists.
See Hematoxylin body and Basophilic
Cell nucleus
The cell nucleus (nuclei) is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells.
See Hematoxylin body and Cell nucleus
Cytoplasm
In cell biology, the cytoplasm describes all material within a eukaryotic cell, enclosed by the cell membrane, except for the cell nucleus.
See Hematoxylin body and Cytoplasm
DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a polymer composed of two polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix.
Feulgen stain
Feulgen stain is a staining technique discovered by Robert Feulgen and used in histology to identify chromosomal material or DNA in cell specimens.
See Hematoxylin body and Feulgen stain
H&E stain
Hematoxylin and eosin stain (or haematoxylin and eosin stain or hematoxylin-eosin stain; often abbreviated as H&E stain or HE stain) is one of the principal tissue stains used in histology.
See Hematoxylin body and H&E stain
LE cell
A lupus erythematosus cell (LE cell), also known as Hargraves cell, is a neutrophil or macrophage that has phagocytized (engulfed) the denatured nuclear material of another cell.
See Hematoxylin body and LE cell
Lupus
Lupus, technically known as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue in many parts of the body. Hematoxylin body and lupus are autoimmune diseases and systemic connective tissue disorders.
See Hematoxylin body and Lupus
Papanicolaou stain
Papanicolaou stain (also Papanicolaou's stain and Pap stain) is a multichromatic (multicolored) cytological staining technique developed by George Papanicolaou in 1942.
See Hematoxylin body and Papanicolaou stain
Pathology
Pathology is the study of disease and injury.
See Hematoxylin body and Pathology
Romanowsky stain
Romanowsky staining is a prototypical staining technique that was the forerunner of several distinct but similar stains widely used in hematology (the study of blood) and cytopathology (the study of diseased cells). Hematoxylin body and Romanowsky stain are Anatomical pathology.
See Hematoxylin body and Romanowsky stain
White blood cell
White blood cells (scientific name leukocytes), also called immune cells or immunocytes, are cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders.
