| granulo- | Granular, granules. Origin: L. Granulum, a small grain. (05 Mar 2000) |

| granuloblast | Rarely used term for an immature haematopoietic cell capable of giving rise to granulocytes. Origin: Granulo-+ G. Blastos, germ (05 Mar 2000) |
| granuloblastosis | A leukaemic form of leukosis in the chicken characterised by an increase of immature, granular blood cells in the circulating blood and frequently infiltration of the parenchymatous organs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| granulocyte | <haematology> Leucocyte with conspicuous cytoplasmic granules. In humans the granulocytes are also classified as polymorphonuclear leucocytes and are subdivided according to the staining properties of the granules into eosinophils, basophils and neutrophils (using a Romanovsky type stain), some invertebrate blood cells are also referred to, not very helpfully, as granulocytes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor | <growth factor, haematology, oncology> A glycoprotein of 25 kD containing internal disulfide bonds. It induces the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of neutrophilic granulocyte precursor cells and functionally activates mature blood neutrophils. Among the family of colony-stimulating factors, G-CSF is the most potent inducer of terminal differentiation to granulocytes and macrophages of leukaemic myeloid cell lines. A protein that stimulates the growth and maturation of granulocytes. It is used to promote the recovery of the white cells following chemotherapy. See: colony-stimulating factor. Acronym: G-CSF (12 Dec 1998) |
| granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor | <growth factor, haematology, oncology> An acidic glycoprotein of mw 23 kD with internal disulfide bonds. It is produced in response to a number of inflammatory mediators by mesenchymal cells present in the haemopoietic environment and at peripheral sites of inflammation. It stimulates the production of neutrophilic granulocytes, macrophages, and mixed granulocyte-macrophage colonies from bone marrow cells and can stimulate the formation of eosinophil colonies from foetal liver progenitor cells. It also has some functional activities in mature granulocytes and macrophages. It is used to promote the recovery of the white blood cells following chemotherapy. Chemical name: Colony-stimulating factor 2 See: colony-stimulating factor. Acronym: GM-CSF (12 Dec 1998) |
| granulocytic leukaemia | <haematology, tumour> A form of leukaemia characterised by an uncontrolled proliferation of myelopoietic cells in the bone marrow and in extramedullary sites, and the presence of large numbers of immature and mature granulocytic forms in various tissues (and organs) and in the circulating blood. The total count may range from 1000 (aleukaemic variety) to several hundred thousand per cu mm. The predominant cell is usually of the neutrophilic series, but, in a few instances, eosinophilic or basophilic granulocytes, or even megakaryocytes, may represent the chief form; early in granulocytic leukaemia, the circulating blood may contain excessive numbers of all of the granulocytic forms. Synonym: leukaemic myelosis, myelocytic leukaemia, myelogenic leukaemia, myelogenous leukaemia, myeloid leukaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| granulocytic sarcoma | <tumour> A malignant tumour of immature myeloid cells, frequently subperiosteal, associated with or preceding granulocytic leukaemia. See: chloroma. Synonym: myeloid sarcoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| granulocytic series | <haematology> The cells in the several stages of development in the bone marrow leading to the mature granulocyte of the circulation, e.g., myeloblasts, different stages of the myelocyte, granulocytes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| granulocytopenia | <haematology> A reduced number of white blood cells in the circulation. (18 Nov 1997) |
| granulocytopoiesis | <haematology> The production of granulocytes in the bone marrow. (18 Nov 1997) |
| granulocytopoietic | Pertaining to granulopoiesis. Synonym: granulocytopoietic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| granulocytosis | <haematology> A condition characterised by more than the normal number of granulocytes in the circulating blood or in the tissues. (05 Mar 2000) |
| granuloma | <pathology> Chronic inflammatory lesion characterised by large numbers of cells of various types (macrophages, lymphocytes, fibroblasts, giant cells), some degrading and some repairing the tissues. (18 Nov 1997) |
| granuloma annulare | <dermatology> Benign granulomatous disease of unknown aetiology characterised by a ring of localised or disseminated papules or nodules on the skin and palisading histiocytes surrounding necrobiotic tissue resulting from altered collagen structures. (12 Dec 1998) |
