Abstract:
Similar behavior of lymphoid cells, their nuclei and nucleoli in periodic disease and leukemia attest to nonspecific reaction of the immune system to these diseases, but the intensity of this reaction and mechanisms of the population recovery are different. DNA hyperreplication plays an important role in this process: in periodic disease it is realized via gene amplification, which manifests by the formation of H2c nuclei and increase in the number of nucleoli, while in leukemia bone marrow lymphoblasts double the DNA content during S phase, maturate during G2 phase, and then divide. We called this mechanism "reserve lymphopoiesis" by analogy with reserve erythropoiesis discovered previously by us.

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune system...
