图示著名的“LE细胞”实验,它的价值仅仅在于表明自身抗体的作用机理。粉红色斑点是变性的细胞核.图中可见两个,一个被嗜中性粒细胞吞噬.该实验没有抗核抗体检测敏感,因此抗核抗体检测取代了LE细胞实验.现在不要求作LE细胞检测.
Here is the famous "LE cell" test which has value only in demonstrating how the concept of autoantibodies work. The pink blobs are denatured nuclei. Here are two, with one seen being phagocytozed in the center by a PMN. This test is not nearly as sensitive as the ANA which has supplanted the LE cell test. Therefore, NEVER order an LE cell test.
