To determine:
The hormones that are necessary for the differentiation of white blood cells from hematopoietic stem cells in red bone marrow.
Introduction:
All types of blood cells arise from the bone marrow of the body by hematopoiesis. Hemocytoblast is undifferentiated stem cells that are responsible to stimulate the formation of various blood cell types. Hematopoietic stem cells are in turn differentiated into myeloid and lymphoid stem cells.
Hematopoietic growth factors influence the formation of new blood cells by turn on other genes and turn off certain genes that are responsible for the differentiation. Myeloid stem cell differentiated into red blood cell and white blood cells (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils and monocytes).
