To determine: The cytokine that maintains the growth and maturation in erythrocytes.
Introduction: Hematopoiesis is the biological process in which blood cells synthesize. The synthesis begins in the early development of the embryo and continues throughout an individual’s life.
(b)
To determine: The cytokine that maintains the growth and maturation in leukocytes.
Introduction: Cytokines are responsible for the production and development of the blood cells. They regulate the blood cells in the process of hematopoiesis.
