High-Yield Explanation
The cells show presence of rod like or needle like crystals called as AUER RODS Myeloblast: Has prominent nucleoli Surface markers- CD 33, CD 13, CD 15 Phi bodies derive from catalase-containing granules (microperoxisomes) Auer rods derive from peroxidase-containing (primary) granules. Like Auer rods, Phi bodies appear to be characteristics of immature myeloid cells in leukaemia Auer rods, distinctive needle-like azurophilic granules, are present in many cases; they are paicularly numerous in AML-M3 with the t(15;17) (acute promyelocytic leukemia).
