Q

Leukopoietin

A
  • Causes proliferation of precursor cells in bone marrow (BM)
  • Increased release of mature or almost mature cells from BM to circulation
  • Alters ratio of stored/circulating cells
    • Available in synthetic form for chemo patients → neulastin/neulasta / neulastim

Q

Granulopoiesis characteristics

As granulocyte develops..

A
  • Cell volume decreases
  • NC ratio decreases
  • Chromatin → condenses and creates lobules
  • Nucleoli → disappear
  • Cytoplasm → primary and secondary granules appear
