'Lymphopoiesis' refers to the generation of
lymphocytes, or
lymphoid hematopoiesis.
It is sometimes used interchangeably with the term "lymphocytopoiesis", but other sources distinguish between the two, stating that "lymphopoiesis" refers to creating
lymphatic tissue, while "lymphocytopoiesis" only refers to the creation of cells in that tissue.
