Coiled bodies

Coiled bodies

Coiled bodies (also known as "Cajal bodies") are structures found in the nucleus of certain cells.cite journal | author = Unger E, Buchwalow IB, Hartmann M, Kleschtschinow WM, Raikhlin NT | title = Ultrastructural demonstration of NAD-pyrophosphorylase activity in mouse liver nuclei | journal = Histochemistry | volume = 43 | issue = 1 | pages = 73–9 | year = 1975 | pmid = 166966 | doi = ] They are often seen attached to the Nucleolus.cite journal | author = Kinderman NB, LaVelle A | title = A nucleolus-associated coiled body | journal = J. Neurocytol. | volume = 5 | issue = 8 | pages = 545–50 | year = 1976 | pmid = 978230 | doi = ]

P80-coilin is a specific marker for coiled bodies,cite journal | author = Raska I, Ochs RL, Andrade LE, "et al" | title = Association between the nucleolus and the coiled body | journal = J. Struct. Biol. | volume = 104 | issue = 1-3 | pages = 120–7 | year = 1990 | pmid = 2088441 | doi = ] and demonstrates these bodies tend to be associated with the nucleolus when cells are not dividing.
