Antineutropenic; hematopoietic stimulant.

GM-CSF (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor) mouse has been used to check effect of GM-CSF on retinal ganglion cell neurite outgrowth in the retinal explants.

GM-CSF (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, also referred to as CSF2) is produced in by endothelial cells, monocytes, fibroblasts and T-lymphocytes. Recombinant murine GM-CSF is a 14.2kDa globular protein consisting of 124 amino acids residues. The human and murine molecules are species-specific and exhibit no cross-species reactivity.

GM-CSF (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, also referred to as CSF2) is a hematopoietic growth factor that stimulates the development of neutrophils and macrophages and promotes the proliferation and development of early erythroid megakaryocytic and eosinophilic progenitor cells. It enhances neutrophil migration. GM-CSF plays a crucial role in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. In neutrophils, it promotes the expression of TLR2 (Toll-like receptor) and TLR2-associated interleukin 8 responses, thereby eliminating microbial attack.
