Morphological changes in apoptotic neutrophils. Time-lapse images of the neutrophils. Early apoptotic morphology with a condensed nucleus induced by lipopolysaccharide (arrow) (a). Roundup cell with perinuclear chromatin aggregation but cytoplasm integrity (b). At the late stage of apoptosis, the nucleus collapses and cytoplasmic granules are tightly packed. Finally, blebs are formed by the plasma membrane (c). Scale bar represents 10-μm length.
