Pharmacokinetics of human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor using a sensitive immunoassay.

چکیده
A sensitive and reliable sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed for recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (hGM-CSF). The assay is quantitative between 100 pg/mL and 2.5 ng/mL for bacterially synthesized hGM-CSF in human serum and is more sensitive and specific than the semisolid agar bioassay. As part of a phase I study, the pharmacokinetics of intravenous (IV) bolus injection and subcutaneous (SC) administration of hGM-CSF were studied. Following a single IV dose, an initial high blood level of hGM-CSF occurred, followed by a rapid decrease occurring in two apparent phases with a half-life (t1/2)alpha of less than five minutes and a t1/2 beta of 150 minutes. After an SC injection, detectable serum levels occurred within 15 to 30 minutes, and serum levels were sustained for a variable time depending on the dose. At the highest SC dose (10 micrograms/kg), a serum level of greater than 1 ng/mL (65 pmol/L) was maintained for greater than 12 hours after a single injection. This corresponds to the concentration of hGM-CSF supporting near-maximum proliferation in vitro.

The Expression of Human Granulocyte Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor by Heat-Induction in Escherichia coli
A self-regulated high-copy number plasmid containing chloramphenicol resistant gene, for the production of recombinant proteins under the regulation of bacteriophage ?pL promoter, was constructed. The designed 5024 base pair expression plasmid contained a heat sensitive repressor cI857 coding gene to regulate the function of ?pL promoter under heat shock induction. Using the constructed vector,...

With the aim of the secretion of human granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) in Escherichia coli, hGM-CSF cDNA was fused in-frame next to the signal sequence of ST toxin (ST-I) of exteroxigenic E. coli, containing 53 or 19 amino acids of signal peptide. The fused STsig::hGM-CSF coding fragments were inserted into a T7-based expression plasmid. The recombinant plasmids were ...

Expression of a Chimeric Protein Containing the Catalytic Domain of Shiga-Like Toxin and Human Granulocyte Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (hGM-CSF) in Escherichia coli and Its Recognition by Reciprocal Antibodies
Fusion of two genes at DNA level produces a single protein, known as a chimeric protein. Immunotoxins are chimeric proteins composed of specific cell targeting and cell killing moieties. Bacterial or plant toxins are commonly used as the killing moieties of the chimeric immunotoxins. In this investigation, the catalytic domain of Shiga-like toxin (A1) was fused to human granulocyte macrophage ...

Purpose: Granulose Macrophage-Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) is a lympho- heamatopoietic actor, secreted in the reproductive system. Murine pre- implantation embryos express GM-CSF receptors. In his study, the capacity of eight cell mouse embryos was studied in the presence and absence of GM-CSF. Materials and Methods: Female NMRI mice were super ovulated using Pregnant Mare Serum gonadotr...
