Effects of bacterial products on granulopoiesis
Abstract:
Methylated endotoxin and Freeman-type polysaccharide each stimulate granulopoiesis and the production of CSF in mice. These same preparations also protect pretreated mice from lethal X-irradiation. The role of CSF in stimulating granulopoiesis in vivo was shown by the ability of anti-CSF to reduce the number of CFUc in endotoxin-treated mice. C3H/HeJ low responder mice cannot be protected against lethal X-irradiation by pretreatment with endotoxin and they fail to produce CSF in response to phenol water extracted endotoxin and the Freeman-type polysaccharide, but do respond to trichloroacetic acid endotoxin with elevated serum CF levels.

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...

Phagocytes
Phagocytes are the frontline soldiers of the immune system. They include neutrophils and macrophages. Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cell and are quickly mobilized to the site of infection. Macrophages are larger cells that patrol...
