Granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a 19.6kD haematopoietic growth factor and member of the CSF family of hormone-like glycoproteins, which stimulates the development of bone marrow progenitor cells and in particular those committed to neutrophil lineage. The ability of G-CSF to stimulate the proliferation/differentiation and function of neutrophil granulocyte progenitor cells and survival of mature neutrophils, has resulted in G-CSF becoming an important factor in patient treatment following allogeneic (bone marrow/stem cell) transplantation and chemotherapy.
