The physiopathogeny of aplastic anemia is still unknown, it can be related to a stem cell defect or a microenvironment disease. An autoimmune origin is suspected but not as yet proved. To demonstrate the autoimmune origin of some cases of aplastic anemia, we have studied the effect of antilymphocyte globulin (ALG) on the hematopoiesis of aplastic patients by serial hematological and bone marrow investigation including blood counts, bone marrow cellularity, scanning with indium and technetium and granulocytic colonies in agar, 8 out of 17 patients had a response to ALG as shown by a rise of granulocytes and reticulocytes counts, increase of bone marrow cellularity and number of granulocytic colonies. This study tends to show that ALG has a stimulating effect on hematopoiesis in some cases of severe aplastic anemia.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.

D002454 Cell Differentiation Progressive restriction of the developmental potential and increasing specialization of function that leads to the formation of specialized cells, tissues, and organs. Differentiation, Cell,Cell Differentiations,Differentiations, Cell
D006098 Granulocytes Leukocytes with abundant granules in the cytoplasm. They are divided into three groups according to the staining properties of the granules: neutrophilic, eosinophilic, and basophilic. Mature granulocytes are the NEUTROPHILS; EOSINOPHILS; and BASOPHILS. Granulocyte
D006410 Hematopoiesis The development and formation of various types of BLOOD CELLS. Hematopoiesis can take place in the BONE MARROW (medullary) or outside the bone marrow (HEMATOPOIESIS, EXTRAMEDULLARY). Hematopoiesis, Medullary,Haematopoiesis,Medullary Hematopoiesis
D006412 Hematopoietic Stem Cells Progenitor cells from which all blood cells derived. They are found primarily in the bone marrow and also in small numbers in the peripheral blood.
