Alternative definition : KEGG: Blood-cell development progresses from a hematopoietic stem cell (HSC), which
can undergo either self-renewal or differentiation into a multilineage committed progenitor
cell: a common lymphoid progenitor (CLP) or a common myeloid progenitor (CMP). A CLP
gives rise to the lymphoid lineage of white blood cells or leukocytes-the natural
killer (NK) cells and the T and B lymphocytes. A CMP gives rise to the myeloid lineage,
which comprises the rest of the leukocytes, the erythrocytes (red blood cells), and
the megakaryocytes that produce platelets important in blood clotting. Cells undergoing
this differentiation process express a stage- and lineage-specific set of surface
markers. Therefore cellular stages are identified by the specific expression patterns
of these genes.;
