Summary A microtubule marginal band consisting of up to 50 microtubules is present in the primitive, circulating, nucleated, disk-shaped blood cells of fetal rats, mice and man. This marginal band is associated with vesicles of endoplasmic reticulum. Bundles of microtubules are also present in erythroblasts of the definitive line in fetal liver parenchyma and bone marrow of adults, but a typical and distinctly marginal localization is not seen in these cells. The presence of microtubule marginal bands in the primitive erythrocytes of mammals is considered as an ontogenetic recapitulation of vertebrate erythropoiesis.
