Recombinant Human Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) is a glycoprotein produced mainly by monocytes as well as bone marrow stromal cells, fibroblasts, macrophages, endothelial cells. G-CSF induces the survival, proliferation, differentiation and activation of neutrophilic granulocyte precursor cells and it activates mature blood neutrophils. G-CSF is the most potent of the colony-stimulating factors to stimulate terminal differentiation into granulocytes and macrophages in leukemic myeloid cell lines. G-CSF plays an important role in defense against infection, in inflammation and in the maintenance of steady state hematopoiesis. G-CSF is a mitogen for some human myeloid leukemia cells and also for some carcinoma cell lines. G-CSF synergizes with some other cytokines, including GM-CSF and IL-4.
