Ultrastructural and morphometric studies of platelets from cattle with the Chediak-Higashi syndrome

Lab Invest. 1976 Sep;35(3):197-204.

Abstract

This study revealed that the lesions in platelets from cattle with the Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CHS) are not morphologically analogousto those present in the other granule-containing cells in cattle and other species with CHS. There was no evidence of enlargement of the lysosomal granules in bovine CHS platelets...
