Uses
Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor human has been used:
- in culturing human neutrophils
- as a growth factor component of double layer granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming unit (CFU-GM) culture system for CD34+ cells
- to test its protective effects chronic liver damage model
General Description
