plasmoblastn.

1897 G. Eisen in Proc. Calif. Acad. Sci.: Zool. 1 16 The polar accumulations must, therefore, be considered as something entirely separate from the balance of the cytoplasm; they, in fact, give rise to the plasmocytes, and may, therefore, appropriately be called plasmocytoblasts, or for the sake of brevity, plasmoblasts.

1940 Lancet 14 Dec. 754/1 Osgood postulates a separate line of development via a plasmoblast.

1942 Amer. Jrnl. Anat. 70 485 Moeschlin believes that some of the youngest lymphoid reticular cells begin to assume plasma cell characters, and that beginning with this ‘plasmoblast’ there is a developmental sequence of stages leading to the mature plasma cell, and that this sequence is probably independent of the lymphocytic line.

1979 Jrnl. Histochem. & Cytochem. 27 208/1 The plasmoblasts and Pfeiffer cells are indistinguishable from each other using the parameters of nuclear size and chromatin network arrangement and structure.

1985 Virchows Archiv B. 48 341 The reactive cell population were..activated lymphocytes corresponding to centrocytes, centroblasts, immunoblasts and plasmoblasts.

1970 Jrnl. Nucl. Med. 11 599/2 EH was a 54-year-old W.F. with plasmoblastic multiple myeloma with widespread skeletal involvement, [etc.].

1990 Jrnl. Clin. Pathol. 43 472/1 Multiple myeloma also had a greater incidence of plasmoblastic cytology, increased cellularity and fibrosis.
