Hargraves' cells
Associated persons:
Malcolm McCallum Hargraves
Description:
A mature neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocyte containing the phagocytosed nucleus of another cell.
Hargraves’ cells are a diagnostic aid in acute disseminated lupus erythematosus. They were first reported by R. J. Morton 1947. The L.E. cell discovery was the first clear sign that systemic lupus erythematosus could be an autoimmune disease
