title: [Kinetics and regulation of granulocytopoiesis (author's transl)].
abstract: The present survey of the development of the granulocytes consists of two parts. In the first section the different stages of granulopoiesis are discussed with special regard to the stem cells. In the second one the regulation of the granulopoiesis and the different factors taking part in the homeostasis of the granulocytes are examined. Emphasis is placed upon the colony stimulating activity" (CSA) previously tested in different situations of stress in relationship to the granulopoietic system. In a separate chapter some marked clinical syndromes are discussed which accompany disorders of granulocyte-homeostasis. The pathogenesis of leukaemia is reviewed.
