Chapter 3:
Cells of the immune system
Origin
of cells of the immune system:
·
The
cells of the immune system originate from hematopoietic stem cells found within
the marrow of long tubular bones.
·
These
hematopoietic stem cells are multipotent, that is, can form all blood cell
types and have the capacity of self-renewal.
·
These
cells will differentiate to commit a cell down the path of either myeloid or
lymphoid cell lines depending on interleukin stimulation:
·
IL-3
stimulates the differentiation of multipotent hematopoietic stem cells into
myeloid progenitor cells.
·
IL-7
stimulates differentiation into lymphoid progenitor cells.
This chapter will be split into different parts as each cell deserves its own post.I will link all posts in this post later.
