25
CFU-S or HSC consist of which antigen? What does it mature into?
CD 34 antigen; matures into CFU-GEMM
26
CFU-GEMM consists of which antigens? What does it mature into?
CD33 and CD34; matures into CFU-GM
27
CFU-GM is controlled by what? What does this mature into?
Controlled by ILs and CSFs; matures into myeloblasts
28
What are the four colony stimulating factors?
Multi-CSF (IL-3) GM-CSF G-CSF M-CSF
29
Describe multi-CSF (IL-3), its source and its function.
-Stimulated by endotoxin released from infection -Source: Fibroblasts, T-lymphs, macrophages, and monocytes -Function: Stimulates regeneration, maturation, and differentiation of multi-potential and uni-potential stem cells
30
Describe GM-CSF, its source and its function.
Important for myeloid maturation in the marrow -Source: T-lymphs, marrow fibroblasts, marrow endothelial cells, and monocytes -Function: stimulates neutrophils, eosinophils, and monocyte growth
31
Describe M-CSF (CSF-1), its source and its function.
-Primary monocytic growth factor -Source: mature monocytes, marrow fibroblasts, and endothelial cells -Function: stimulates macrophages and release of G-CSF from monocytes, stimulates release of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interferon, and IL-1 from macrophages
31
Describe G-CSF, its source and its function.
-Specific granulocyte GF -Source: monocytes, marrow fibroblasts, and endothelial cells -Function: stimulates neutrophils, and enhances functional response of neutrophils
32
What are the 6 stages of neutrophil maturation?
1. Myeloblast 2. Promyelocyte 3. Myelocyte 4. metamyelocyte (indentation) 5. Band 6. Segmented (polymorphonuclear)
33
What is the first stage of neutrophil maturation? Describe it.
Myeloblast or "blast" -Primary granules begin to appear -Large cell -Lacy/smooth chromatin -1-2% normal in b.m, but NOT IN P.B. -Expressed antigens CD13 and CD33
34
What is the second stage of neutrophil maturation? Describe.
Pro-myelocyte -Prominent primary granules (Azurophilic) 2-5% normal in b.m, BUT NOT IN P.B. *The red-purple is helpful in distinguishing promyelocytes from myeloblasts
35
What is the third stage of neutrophil maturation? Describe.
Myelocyte -Pinkish secondary/specific granules are now visible -Primary granules are less visible -Dawn of neutrophilia occurs -Decreased RNA synthesis so less blue
36
What is dawn of neutrophilia?
Specific granules form in golgi area, causing a pink arc
37
What type of granules are visible in the promylocyte stage? What color(s) are these granules?
Primary/Nonspecific/Azurophilic; Red-purple color
38
What do primary/nonspecific or azurophilic granules contain? What do they stain positive for?
Lysosomes that contain lysozyme, acid hydrolases, myloperoxidase (MPO) **, proteases and superoxide YES, stains (+) for peroxide
39
What type of granules can be seen in the myelocyte stage? What do they cause and what color are they?
Secondary/specific granules; Pale lavender-pink color; Cause dawn of neutrophilia
40
What do secondary/specific granules contain? Do they stain positive for peroxidase?

44
An increase of bands in the p.b. is known as
Shift to the left
45
What is the last stage of neutrophil maturation?
Segmented or polymorphonucleus -50-70% of total WBC population in normal adult p.b. -Completely functional cell -2-5 lobes -Hypersegmentation is >5 lobes
46
Toxic granulation causes pronunciation of which granules
Secondary granules
47
Granulocytes reside in 2 main areas of the body, moving from:
Bone marrow --> p.b. --> tissues (Endothelium to tissues is non-reversible)
48
What are the three functions of granulocytes in bone marrow?
Proliferation: Maturation: Storage:
49
How much WBCs does the bone marrow hold?
About 25x the amount in circulation (4-10 day supply)
50
In the bloodstream, granulocytes enter and then divide up equally between two pools. What are they?
Circulating pool (CP): Counted in a WBC count Marginating pool (MP): liest against endothelial lining of blood vessels
51
Marginating cells can be mobilized into p.b. circulating pool and cause an increase in WBC count due to:
Stress, exercise, crying children, and stressed out adults due to epinephrine
52
How long do granulocytes stay in p.b. before they move into tissues via diapedesis? How long do they 'do their job' before they die?
6-10 hours in p.b. 1-5 days to do their job
53
Which WBCs are capable of phagocytosis?
Primarily phagocytes (monocytes and neutrophils), but eos and basos are capable of LIMITED phagocytosis
54
What are the 5 steps of phagocytosis?
MRID(E) M: Directed motility (migration) R: Recognition and attachment I: ingestion and phagocytosis D: Degranulation/digestion and killing E: exocytosis
