Abstract
Colony‐stimulating factor (CSF) is necessary for the clonal growth of human bone marrow in vitro. Human blood monocytes and macrophages produce CSF. Endotoxin was found to increase the level of CSF generated by macrophages, but had no stimulatory effect on monocytes. Several other substances known to influence the pinocytic or phagocytic activity of mononuclear phagocytes failed to enhance cellular CSF generation.

## Abstract We previously established 2 lung cancer cell lines, OKa‐C‐1 and MI‐4, which constitutively produce an abundant dose of granulocyte‐colony stimulating factor (G‐CSF) and granulocyte macrophage‐colony stimulating factor (GM‐CSF). Many other cases with G‐CSF or GM‐CSF producing tumors have
## BACKGROUND. Mononuclear phagocytic function is not well defined in non- Hodgkin lymphoma patients although, defective function of those cells has been reported in patients with Hodgkin disease and other solid tumors. The potential application of granulocyte-macrophage-colony stimulating factor (
Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) (250 microg/m2) was administered subcutaneously to 7 normal volunteers for up to 14 days to study its effects on neutrophil kinetics and function. With treatment, blood neutrophil counts rose gradually to peak at 3 1/2 times baseline by day 1
