Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) production and G-CSF receptor structure in patients with congenital neutropenia

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) production and G-CSF receptor structure in patients with congenital neutropenia.

Congenital neutropenia (Kostmann's syndrome [KS]) is an autosomal recessive syndrome that is characterized by profound neutropenia, resulting in major clinical infections and death. Since the neutropenia and symptoms in KS improve in response to exogenous administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), we studied bone marrow cytokine (G-CSF, granulocyte-macrophage CSF [GM-CSF],...

Cohen syndrome with neutropenia-induced periodontitis managed with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF): case reports.

Novel Point Mutation in the Extracellular Domain of the Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-Csf) Receptor in a Case of Severe Congenital Neutropenia Hyporesponsive to G-Csf Treatment

Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is a heterogeneous condition characterized by a drastic reduction in circulating neutrophils and a maturation arrest of myeloid progenitor cells in the bone marrow. Usually this condition can be successfully treated with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). Here we describe the identification of a novel point mutation in the extracellular domain of ...

Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) for sepsis: a meta-analysis

INTRODUCTION To investigate the effects of G-CSF or GM-CSF therapy in non-neutropenic patients with sepsis. METHODS A systematic literature search of Medline, Embase and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials was conducted using specific search terms. A manual review of references was also performed. Eligible studies were randomized control trials (RCTs) that compared granulocyte-colo...
