Long-term cultured AIDS-KS (Kaposi's Sarcoma) cells were injected into a nude mouse. Within 5 days a subcutaneous lesion formed in the induced region with a marked angiogenic response. A cross-section of these new blood vessel formations appear as open spaces, where one can see dividing epithelial cells and some red blood cells. The cells were stained with a Wright-Gimsa stain and are seen at a magnification of 100x. Credit: Unknown photographer/artist.

Six-step sequence of the death of a cancer cell. A cancer cell has migrated through the holes of a matrix coated membrane from the top to the bottom, simulating natural migration of a invading cancer cell between, and sometimes through, the vascular endothelium. Notice the spikes or pseudopodia that are characteristic of an invading cancer cell (1). A buffy coat containing red blood cells, lymphocytes and macrophages is added to the bottom of the membrane. A group of macrophages identify the cancer cell as foreign matter and start to stick to the cancer cell, which still has its spikes (2). Macrophages begin to fuse with, and inject its toxins into, the cancer cell. The cell starts rounding up and loses its spikes (3). As the macrophage cell becomes smooth (4). The cancer cell appears lumpy in the last stage before it dies. These lumps are actually the macrophages fused within the cancer cell (5). The cancer cell then loses its morphology, shrinks up and dies (6). Photo magnification: 1: x12,000; 2: x4,000; 3: x8,000; 4: x26,000; 5: x56,000; 6: x14,000. Credit: Susan Arnold (photographer).

This is a scanning electron microscope image from normal circulating human blood. One can see red blood cells, several white blood cells including lymphocytes, a monocyte, a neutrophil, and many small disc-shaped platelets. Red cells are nonnucleated, and contain hemoglobin, containing iron an important protein which allows the cell to carry oxygen to other parts of the body. They also carry away carbon dioxide from the lungs. The infection-fighting white blood cells, are classified in 2 main groups: granular and agranular. Granulocytes are formed in bone marrow, agranulocytes are produced by lymph nodes and spleen. There are two types of agranulocytes: lymphocytes, fight disease by producing antibodies and thus destroying foreign material, and monocytes. Platelets are tiny cells formed in bone marrow and are necessary for blood clotting. Credit: Bruce Wetzel (photographer). Harry Schaefer (phot.

Red blood cells on an agar plate are used to diagnose infection. The plate on the left shows a positive staphyloccus infection. The plate on the right shows a positive streptococcus infection and with the halo effect shows specifically a beta-hemolytic group A. These infections can occur in patients on chemotherapy.

Hemosiderin, revealed here using PAS stain and H&E counterstain, is a normal by-product produced during the breakdown of red blood cells, and the decomposition of the hemoglobin molecule contained in these blood components. Credit: CDC.

The maximum size of red blood cells infected with Plasmodium vivax ranges between 1.5 - 2 times their normal size. A mature schizont is large and amoeboid in shape. Note the numerous chromatin masses, along with Schuffner's dots. Credit: CDC.

In a small number of individuals (mostly children under 5 and the elderly), E. coli can cause hemolytic uremic syndrome, in which the red blood cells are destroyed and the kidneys fail. Credit: CDC.

The Schizont stage of the life cycle precedes the formation of merozoites, which will be released to go on to infect more red blood cells. This erythrocyte contains a young immature schizont with underdeveloped merozoites. Credit: CDC.

Malarial parasites undergo asexual multiplication in the erythrocytes, i.e. erythrocytic schizogony. During the ring stage, trophozoites will mature into schizonts, which will rupture releasing merozoites that will reinfect more red blood cells. Credit: CDC.

Here we see three infected red blood cells, (RBC), during erythrocytic schizogony. One normal erythrocyte containing one ring, one RBC containing a ring with 2 chromatin dots, and another RBC infected with two parasites simultaneously. Credit: CDC.
