  2. The myeloid cell line normally produces granulocytes, erythrocytes, thrombocytes, macrophages and mast cells; the lymphoid cell line produces B, T, NK and plasma cells. Lymphomas, lymphocytic leukemias, and myeloma are from the lymphoid line, while acute and chronic myelogenous leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes and myeloproliferative diseases ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_lymphocyte

    Reactive lymphocyte surrounded by red blood cells. In immunology, reactive lymphocytes, variant lymphocytes, atypical lymphocytes, Downey cells or Türk cells are cytotoxic (CD8 +) lymphocytes that become large as a result of antigen stimulation. Typically, they can be more than 30 μm in diameter with varying size and shape.

    However, the other MLB phenotypes may progress to and/or be mimicked by various monoclonal B-cell lymphocyte malignancies. The key cell markers and other points that help distinguish the following MBL phenotypes from these malignancies include the following (refer to Table for comparisons to non-malignant predecessor cells): Atypical CLL/SLL ...

  5. Lymphoproliferative disorders - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphoproliferative_disorders

    Lymphoproliferative disorders are a set of disorders characterized by the abnormal proliferation of lymphocytes into a monoclonal lymphocytosis. The two major types of lymphocytes are B cells and T cells, which are derived from pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow.

  6. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_lymphocytic_leukemia

    Less commonly, the disease comes to light only after the cancerous cells overwhelm the bone marrow, resulting in low red blood cells, neutrophils, or platelets. [9] Symptoms can be fever, night sweats, weight loss, and tiredness. [9] CLL can be grouped with small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) as one disease with two clinical presentations. [18]

    One can receive donations of NK cells from parents or relatives through bone marrow transplants. There are also the issues of cost, purity and safety. [11] Unfortunately, there is always the possibility of Graft vs host disease while transplanting bone marrow. NK cell therapy is a possible treatment for many different cancers such as Malignant ...

  8. Lymphoblast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphoblast

    Lymphoblasts can also refer to immature cells which typically differentiate to form mature lymphocytes. [2] Normally, lymphoblasts are found in the bone marrow, but in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), lymphoblasts proliferate uncontrollably and are found in large numbers in the peripheral blood. The size is between 10 and 20 μm. [3]

  9. Leukemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leukemia

    The crowding that results from such cells makes the bone marrow unable to produce healthy blood cells resulting in low hemoglobin and low platelets. Immediate treatment is required in acute leukemia because of the rapid progression and accumulation of the malignant cells , which then spill over into the bloodstream and spread to other organs of ...
