What are the 3 major lineages of hematopoiesis?
Erythroid
Myeloid
Lymphoid
What does the erythroid lineage produce?
Platelets and erythrocyte (blood)
What does the myeloid lineage produce?
Neutrophil (blood) Basophil (blood) Eosinophil (blood) Monocyte (blood) Macrophage (tissue) Dendritic cell (tissue) Mast cell (tissue)
What does the lymphoid lineage produce?
NK cell (blood)
T cell, blood (effector T cell, tissue)
B cell, blood (plasma cell, tissue)
How can monitoring changes to hematopoiesis be achieved?
Complete blood cell counts
Observing changes in bone marrow aspirates
