Dohle bodies are found in the cytoplasm of which cells?

Dohle bodies are small, pale blue-gray cytoplasmic inclusions that can be observed in the neutrophils of patients with certain conditions, particularly infections, inflammation, or stress responses. These bodies are composed of ribosomal RNA and are associated with the production of granules in neutrophils during the activation of these immune cells. The presence of Dohle bodies indicates a reactive change in neutrophils and can serve as a marker for infections or systemic inflammation.

In contrast, the other cell types listed do not characteristically contain Dohle bodies. Monocytes typically display a different range of inclusions and cytoplasmic characteristics. Basophils may have granules but do not possess Dohle bodies, and eosinophils are primarily characterized by their distinct granules containing cytotoxic proteins. Therefore, the identification of Dohle bodies as a feature specifically associated with neutrophils makes this choice the correct and relevant answer in the context of hematology.
