Colony-stimulating factor (CSF), a protein required for the in vitro formation of colonies composed of granulocytes and/or macrophages, was isolated from the urine of anemic patients by using a seven-step procedure. The purified, homogeneous CSF had a specific activity of 1.9 X 10' U/absorbance unit

## Abstract More than 20% of human granulocyteβmacrophage and eosinophil colonyβforming cells survived in agar culture for up to 4 days without the addition of exogenous colony stimulating factors (human placentalβconditioned medium, HPCM). Survival was reduced slightly but not significantly, by th
Following a report that nerve growth factor preparations have granulocyte-colony-stimulating activity, we investigated the presence of colony-stimulating factors in 7s mouse submaxillary nerve growth factor and its subunits. Macrophage colonies were formed in mouse bone marrow cultures after exposur
