  • Title: CSF in vivo: effects on hematopoiesis.
    Author: Souza L.
    Journal: Int J Cell Cloning; 1990 Jan; 8 Suppl 1():227; discussion 227-8. PubMed ID: 1691244.
    Abstract:
    A summary of the biological models that Amgen and its collaborators have used to document the biological effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), in particular its profound ability to stimulate granulopoiesis, was presented. Cloned human, bovine and canine G-CSF molecules have been investigated. G-CSF is a highly conservative molecule having 80% homology between human, bovine and canine, and 76% homology with cloned murine G-CSF. Preliminary evidence was advanced on a canine cyclic neutropenic model which affords an excellent opportunity to dissect in vivo homeostasis of neutrophil production. From these studies, it appears that G-CSF is important in the day-to-day maintenance of the neutrophil lineage. The efficacious use of G-CSF was advanced for a variety of non-neutropenic infectious states. These included preclinical burn and pneumonia studies in which animals received G-CSF-supportive treatment.
