Abstract

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) are two important granulopoietic growth factors. This review will focus on the endogenous production of human GM-CSF and human G-CSF and its possible reflection in circulating levels in peripheral blood. When adequately stimulated a variety of cell-types such as monocytes/macrophages. T-lymphocytes, endothelial cells and fibroblasts can produce CSFs in vitro. G-CSF can increase to detectable levels in peripheral blood when there is a demand for granulocyte production such as acute neutropenic in conjunction with hematological disorders, chronic neutropenic conditions and acute infectious diseases in patients with or without underlying hematological disorders. G-CSF in peripheral blood is detected more often and in higher concentrations than GM-CSF. An independent regulation of GM-CSF and G-CSF secretion, quantitative differences in production and/or differences in elimination or distribution might be of importance.
