Lymphopoiesis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lymphopoiesis refers to the generation of lymphocytes, or lymphoid hematopoiesis.
It is sometimes used interchangeably with the term "lymphocytopoiesis", but other sources distinguish between the two, stating that "lymphopoiesis" refers to creating lymphatic tissue, while "lymphocytopoiesis" only refers to the creation of cells in that tissue.
