background: immunotoxins are comprised of both the cell targeting and the cell killing moieties. we previously established a new immunotoxin, i.e. shiga toxin granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (stxa1-gm-csf), comprises of catalytic domain of stx, as a killing moiety and gm-csf, as a cell targeting moiety. in this study, the ability of the immunotoxin to induce apoptosis and doubl...

Effect of Recombinant Human Granulocyte Colony–Stimulating Factor for Patients With COVID-19 and Lymphopenia

hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (hspcs) which give rise to different blood cell types are present within the bone marrow microenvironment, especially in flat bones such as skull, vertebrae, pelvis and chest. interacting factors such as stromal derived factor-1/cxcr4, very late antigen-4/vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1/ intercellular adhesion molec...

BACKGROUND Following the release of the initial presentation of filgrastim (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor), several biosimilars have been developed worldwide. OBJECTIVE To study the efficacy of a Mexican biosimilar granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in a single transplant center. METHODS In a group of 19 consecutive patients with multiple sclerosis given autografts, we employed g...

conclusions the present study showed that g-csf is not superior to placebo in production of protective antibody titers after hbv vaccination but could result in a more rapid antibody response, compared to the placebo. results there was no statistically significant difference between anti-hbv antibody titers in patients receiving double dose hbv vaccination plus g-csf and patients receiving doub...

In the background section of their abstract, Woei-Cherng Shyu and associates state that because granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties and the capacity to mobilize stem cells, it has the potential to be used in treatment of stroke. However, there are limited data about the effects of G-CSF on hemostasis. It has been suggested that G-CS...

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor was discovered during attempts to define the normal regulators present in cell supernatants that could induce terminal differentiation of the murine myeloid leukemic cell line WEHI-3B D+. The purification and subsequent cloning of both murine and human G-CSF allowed the normal functions of this molecule to be elucidated and indicated that it was a relativel...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor is important in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic inflammatory disease. We hypothesized that granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor plays a pivotal role in middle ear inflammation and that neutralization of granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor would inhibit neutrophil migration into the middle ear a...
