11. Hyphae penetrate to the depth of the stratum spinosum, and appear as weakly basophilic structures. 12. The cytoplasm is blue in an H & E stain, indicating that it is basophilic . 13. Axotomy also induces the loss of basophilic staining in the event of central chromatolysis of the neuronal cell. 14. Formalin causes cytoplasm to become basophilic but this effect is balanced by the effect of the picric acid. 15. Precursors of red cells, the proerythroblasts and basophilic erythroblasts also express erythropoietin receptor and are therefore affected by it. 16. RBL ( Rat Basophilic Leukemia cells ) are cancerous basophil cells that are well suited for the study of allergy. 17. Due to RNA's basophilic ( " base-loving " ) properties it is stained blue by this method. 18. Whereas basophilic white blood cells stain dark blue and eosinophilic white blood cells stain bright red, neutrophils stain a neutral pink. 19. With the use of aniline dyes he was able to find a structure which strongly absorbed basophilic dyes, which he named chromatin. 20. They remain moderate in size and their cytoplasm is not intensely basophilic as is usually in the young stages of other mammalian Haemosporidia.
