<p>Leukopoiesis is the process of formation of [[Leukocytes|leukocytes]] (white blood cells) from stem cells in haematopoietic organs. Leukocytes develop from either multipotential myeloid stem cells ([[Haematopoiesis - Overview#Colony Forming Units|CFU-GEMM]]) or multipotential lymphoid stem cells ([[Haematopoiesis - Overview#Colony Forming Units|CFU-L]]). </p>

<p>[[Leukocytes|Leukocytes]] developing from CFU-GEMM’s are granulocytes ([[Neutrophils|neutrophils]], [[Basophils| basophils]] and [[Eosinophils| eosinophils]]) or [[Monocytes|monocytes]] and [[Leukocytes|leukocytes]] developing from [[Haematopoiesis - Overview#Colony Forming Units|CFU-L]]'s are lymphocytes (T & B cells, dendritic and NK cells).</p>
