Stringent criteria were used to define lymphocytes: cell size between 7 and 12 μm, high nucleus to cytoplasm ratio (N/C ratio), nucleus oval or slightly indented, dense clumped homogenous chromatin devoid of nucleolus, little rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) light blue basophilic cytoplasm from scanty to medium, mostly agranular, but including large granular lymphocytes.
More than 50% of OR genes were found to harbour a large number of SNP, whereas the rest were devoid of SNP or only slightly polymorphic.
