    The myeloid cell line forms granulocytes and monocytes, which share a common stem cell. The stem cell is stimulated by CSFs to make myeloblast, which then creates promyelocytes. Eosinophilic myelocytes separate into eosinophils, basophilic myelocytes form basophils, and neutrophilic myelocytes develop into neutrophils. The lymphoid cell line creates lymphocytes and are involved in leukopoiesis. The stem cells break a part into B-lymphoblasts and T-lymphoblasts, which then mature and become B-lymphocytes and…

    The primary inflammatory cytokines: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a proinflammatory cytokine which is produced by macrophages, T cells, B cells, natural killer cells, fibroblasts, neutrophils, keratinocytes and tumor cells [13]. It is produced during early inflammatory response. It mediates the production of other cytokines, chemokines and adhesion molecules [14]. It also increases vascular permeability, which leads to migration of activated immune cells to the site of infection [15,16]. TNF is a promoter of inflammation, angiogenesis and tumor dissemination and therefore a tumor-promoting factor [17,18].…
