inclusion bodies
Intracellular protein clumps
Inclusion bodies are abnormal structures found within cells, typically clusters of proteins, viral particles, or other materials that accumulate in the cytoplasm or nucleus.
They appear in various diseases and infections—the Negri bodies in rabies, for instance, or the Lewy bodies associated with Parkinson's disease.
In biotechnology, inclusion bodies form when bacteria overproduce proteins that aggregate rather than fold properly.
