title: Ultrastructural morphology of leukemic cells in the cat.
abstract: Transmission and scanning electron microscopic characteristics of leukemic cells from eight cats with spontaneous leukemia are described. Nuclear blebs, myelin figures, cytoplasmic microfibrils and C-type virus were seen more frequently in leukemic cells. Surface ridges and ruffles seen with the scanning electron microscopy were helpful in distinguishing myelogenous from lymphogenous leukemia.
