Myelopoiesis and Lymphopoiesis
Amy Lovett-Racke, PhD
Associate Professor
Department of Microbial Infection and Immunity
Learning Objectives
Know which cells are derived from the three major progenitor cells.
Know which cells play a role in innate versus adaptive immune responses.
Describe the role of cytokines in hematopoiesis.
Hematopoiesis
The generation of the cellular components of blood, including the red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets.
Leukocytes – white blood cells; include lymphocytes, granulocytes and monocytes.
Anatomical Site and Rate of Hematopoiesis May Change
Pluripotent Hematopoietic Stem Cell
CD34 – cell surface marker of HSCs

Progenitor Cells
Cytokines Cytokines are proteins made by cells that affect the behavior of other cells.
Cytokines are proteins made by cells that affect the behavior of other cells.
Erythropoietin (EPO) is a cytokine that promotes the development of erythrocytes.

Cytokines are proteins made by cells that affect the behavior of other cells.
Thrombopoietin (TPO) is the primary cytokine that promotes the development of megakaryocytes.

Summary
1. All blood cells originate from hematopoietic stem cells.
2. Blood cells are divided into three types based on progenitor cell origination; erythroid/megakarocyte (red blood cells and megakaryocytes), myeloid and lymphoid.
3. Myeloid and lymphoid derived cells are the white blood cells and are responsible for innate and adaptive immune functions.
4. Cytokines play a vital role in the development of immune cells.
5. Hematopoiesis occurs predominantly in the bone marrow, but originates in the yolk sac and fetal liver/spleen during development.
Terminology
Hematopoiesis - The generation of the cellular components of blood, including the red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets.
CD (cluster of differentiation) – a system to naming and characterizing cell surface molecules on immune cells.
CD34 – a cell surface molecule expressed by hematopoietic stem cells.
Cytokines - proteins made by cells that affect the behavior of other cells; cytokines provide a mechanism for different cells to communicate with each other.
Erythropoietin (EPO) - a cytokine that promotes the development of erythrocytes (red blood cells).
Thrombopoietin (TPO) - the primary cytokine that promotes the development of megakaryocytes.
Terminology
Thrombocytes – platelets; derived from megakaryocytes
Innate immune cells – cells derived from myeloid progenitors and NK cells; these cells act early in infection and are not specific for the pathogen.
Adaptive immune cells – B cells and T cells which differentiate upon infection into cells that recognize the specific pathogen; responses have memory and therefore, can rapidly recognize the same pathogen upon re-infection.
