Abstract
NUCLEAR blebs1,2 have been recorded as representing parallels between Burkitt tumour and normal thymocytes. Motivated by the recent discovery of regularly arranged, crystalloid structures of unknown nature in the lymphoblasts of an in vitro culture of Burkitt tumour3, I report here similar observations in normal primate thymoblasts.
