Hematopoiesis
Across
- 1. The gene that is most commonly mutated in PMF.
- 4. The blood cells involved in the immune response in the body.
- 6. The white blood cells that do not circulate regularly, but are released from the bone marrow as part of an immune response.
- 7. There are two systems for classifying AML: BLANK and WHO.
- 11. The part of blood responsible for clotting.
- 13. What kind of cells are produced by B cells?
- 14. How many major subtypes of leukemia are there?
- 15. How many types of T-cells are there?
- 17. The type of leukemia that produces partly matured cells that look ~normal, but do not function well.
- 19. A disorder whereby myeloid cells and fibroblasts are overproduced.
- 21. Where the bone marrow is found in the bones.
- 22. The lineage of blood cells that include the rbc, platelets, mast cells, monocytes, and granulocytes.
- 24. A malignancy of the cells.
- 27. What cell type forms thrombocytes?
- 30. The chromosome that is found in 95% of CML cases.
- 32. The place where blood forms in the earliest embryonic stage.
- 33. The lineage of blood cells that includes the B, T, and NK cells.
- 34. The model that we use to study embryonic hematopoiesis.
- 35. The cells involved in the allergic response.
- 37. The thing that is lacking in erythrocytes and thrombocytes.
- 38. The largest blood cells
Down
- 2. The type of leukemia that grows faster but is easier to treat.
- 3. The RBC found in PMF patients have this abnormal shape as a feature of the disease.
- 5. The red blood cells that carry oxygen and carbon dioxide.
- 7. The most common type of blood cancer, which can originate in bone marrow and lymph organs.
- 8. The formation of blood cells occurs via BLANK.
- 9. The stage of blood development whereby blood develops in blood vessels.
- 10. The cells that have a tree-like appearance. They may be from the myeloid lineage, but it is unclear. They display antigens for T-cells.
- 12. An irregularly-shaped cell, it may be involved in inflammation and may regulate helper T-cells.
- 16. All cancers are BLANKs.
- 18. The cell type that is overproduced in FL.
- 20. The most common immune cell.
- 23. The stage of hematopoiesis in the fetus where both the myeloid and lymphoid lineage cells start dividing.
- 25. The kind of cell that comes from monocytes.
- 26. The stage of blood development that starts at the 5th month.
- 28. The bone marrow type where blood is formed post-natally.
- 29. An immune cell with a double-lobed nucleus that may defend against parasites.
- 31. The lymphoid cells that mature in the thymus.
- 36. A co-stimulatory molecule that can activate lymphocytes.
