Leucopoïèse
La leucopoïèse (appelée parfois leucocytopoïèse), est la fabrication des leucocytes ou globules blancs. Les deux principales formes de leucopoïèse sont la lymphopoïèse (fabrication des lymphocytes) et la myélopoïèse (fabrication des globules rouges, de plaquettes sanguines, des monocytes et des granulocytes). La leucopoïèse fait partie de l'Hématopoïèse. Chaque type de leucocyte a des mécanismes et une durée de fabrication qui lui sont propres. La granulopoïèse, qui concerne les granulocytes ou polynucléaires, dure environ 10 jours.
Clonal deletion
In immunology, clonal deletion is the removal through apoptosis of B cells and T cells that have expressed receptors for self before developing into fully immunocompetent lymphocytes. This prevents recognition and destruction of self host cells, making it a type of negative selection or central tolerance. Central tolerance prevents B and T lymphocytes from reacting to self. Thus, clonal deletion can help protect individuals against autoimmunity. Clonal deletion is thought to be the most common type of negative selection.
