Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The lymphoid progenitor cell is capable of differentiating into:
A
Monocytes
B
Dendritic Cell
C
NK cell
D
Macrophages
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -NK cells are innate immune effector cells. Their derivation from either lymphoid or myeloid lineages was debated early in their discovery. Further research showed that NK cells can be derived from common lymphoid progenitors (CLPs) and hence have been considered separate from myeloid lineage.

Detailed explanation-2: -These cells can differentiate into all the three germ layers such as mesoderm, endoderm, and ectoderm. They can differentiate into any of the fetal or adult cell types, but they do not have the ability to form embryos (e.g., embryonic stem cells).

Detailed explanation-3: -Progenitor cell are very similar to stem cells. They are biological cells and like stem cells, they too have the ability to differentiate into a specific type of cell.
