(14) The infected erythroid precursors suffer arrest of maturation beyond the normoblast stage leading to the formation of giant pronormoblasts in the bone marrow and peripheral reticulocytopenia.

As a possible factor associated with fetal anemia in the case of Kell alloimmunization is suppression of erythropoiesis, reticulocyte and normoblast counts are inappropriately low for the degree of fetal anemia in fetuses and neonates.
The function of erythropoietin is to stimulate erythropoiesis in the bone marrow by stimulating committed stem cells to proliferate and differentiate, decreasing erythroid precursor (normoblast) maturation time, increasing the rate of hemoglobin synthesis, and stimulating early release of bone marrow reticulocytes.
Bunun anlami bir normoblast eritrosit haline gelinceye kadar hemoglobini meydana getiren demir, protoporfirin ve alfa ve beta globin pargalarindan birisinde herhangi bir sebeple bir eksiklik olursa ortaya gikan kirmizi kan hucresinin MCH ve MCV'si kucuk olacak demektir.
In a parallel fashion, they proposed the term "rubricyte" instead of "normoblast" and "erythrocyte" instead of "red blood cell." But these recommendations were not as well received by the hematology community.
In the aspiration smear, 18% myelocyte, 35% metamyelocyte, 11% polymorphonuclear leukocyte, 28% lymphocyte, 2% normoblast, 1% monocyte, 1% eosinophil, and 4% lymphoblast-like cells were present.
(2) These inclusions appear in neutrophils and morphologically and cytochemically resemble Howell-Jolly bodies of normoblasts in abnormal erythropoiesis.
