A comparative study of sequential priming and mobilisation of progenitor cells with rhG-CSF alone and high-dose cyclophosphamide plus rhG-CSF

rhG-CSF resistant neutropenia in SLE.

Mobilization of circulating progenitor cells in multiple myeloma during VCAD therapy with or without rhG-CSF.

BACKGROUND Circulating progenitor cells (CPC), when infused in large numbers, rapidly repopulate the marrow after myeloablation with high-dose therapy. In multiple myeloma (MM), as in other disorders, different chemotherapy regimens, including single-as well as multiple-agent chemotherapy, with or without hemopoietic growth factors, have been proposed to mobilize these progenitor cells into the...

Severe autoimmune hyperthyroidism after donation of rhG-CSF-primed allogeneic peripheral blood progenitor cells

Action of granulopoiesis-stimulating cytokines rhG-CSF, rhGM-CSF, and rmGM-CSF on murine haematopoietic progenitor cells for granulocytes and macrophages (GM-CFC).

The aim of this study was to provide new data to the knowledge of mechanisms by which recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF), recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) and recombinant murine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rmGM-CSF) enhance the numbers of colonies growing from hematopoietic progenitor cells for gra...

Long-term safety of filgrastim (rhG-CSF) administration

This journal recently included an article by Bennett et al (2006) reporting five cases of haematological malignancy occurring in normal individuals following exposure to haematopoietic growth factors. Three cases described lymphoid malignancies (non-Hodgkin lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia) occurring months to years after receipt of an investigational agent (pegylated, recombinant meg...
