Modulatory Effect of Macrophages on Erythropoiesis

  • Chapter
In Vitro Aspects of Erythropoiesis

Abstract

The existence of “erythroblastic islands” in the bone marrow has been known for many decades. With the electron microscope, the erythroblastic islands are clearly seen as a distinct anatomical feature of the marrow and mouse spleen.1 An island consists of one or two central reticular cells (i.e., macrophages) surrounded by a wreath of erythroblasts.
