Abstract
It has already been mentioned that Russell bodies result from the aggregation of misfolded glycoproteins in the lumen of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. A giant Russell body similar in size to the nucleus is seen in panel A with normal appearing rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), mitochondria (M), and secondary lysosomes (Ly). A main structural feature is its limiting membrane studded with ribosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
