To clarify the mechanism of eosinophilia in adult T-cell leukemia (ATL), we studied three ATL patients having marked eosinophilia. Eosinophil-predominant colony-stimulating activity was detected in the serum of one patient and in the conditioned media (CM) from cultured ATL cells from two patients.
## BACKGROUND. A combination of etoposide, 5-fluorouracil, and folinic acid (ELF) remains popular for the treatment of patients with gastric carcinoma and has been reported to result in a response rate of up to 40% with good patient tolerance. The authors elected to add granulocyte-macrophage-colo
A therapeutic trial of recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) was attempted in a patient with neutropenia and frequent infections secondary to T-y lymphoproliferative disease (T-y LPD). During the 14 days of subcutaneous rhGM-CSF (500 kg/m2/day), the absolute e
