Eighteen surgical patients were studied to determine the effect of anesthesia (general or spinal) and surgery on serum and urinary colony-stimulating factor(s) (CSF). CSF is a leukopoietin that stimulates proliferation of macrophages and granulocytes from bone marrow precursor cells. CSF was assayed

## BACKGROUND. Granulocyte-macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) administration stimulates the proliferation of hemopoietic progenitors. Shortly (48 -96 hours) after its discontinuation, feedback phenomena occur and the progenitor proliferation rate drops below baseline levels. As the quies
The hematopoietic system in patients with aplastic anemia (AA) shows both quantitative and qualitative deficiencies, i.e., reduced numbers of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) and impaired HPC proliferation in long-term marrow cultures (LTMC). Since recombinant human granulocyte macrophage-colony
## 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
GM-CSF is a major regulator of myelopoiesis. Recombinant human GM-CSF (250 micrograms/m2 per day i.v.) was used prior to chemotherapy ("3 + 7" scheme) to recruit leukemic blasts in vivo (de novo AML patients, n = 20) into the chemotherapy sensitive phases of the cell cycle. The stimulatory effect of
