โฆ Synopsis
Microvascular murine endothelial cells lines transformed by middle T oncogene of polyoma virus maintain the biological characteristics of nontransformed microvascular endothelial cells (EC). By using cell lines originated from different anatomical districts (thymus, brain, heart, and skin), we demonstrated that rnurine granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) induces proliferation of murine microvascular endothelial cells at nanomolar concentrations without any cooperation with fetal calf serum. The proliferative effect on murine cells is less than that elicited by epidermal growth factor (EGF), used as standard for this function.
C-CSF also promotes the migration of tEnd.1 endothelial cell line assayed by

The use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) after chemotherapy for acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) has been reported. However, there is a drawback in that G-CSF may stimulate the proliferation of AML progenitors. To determine the parameter(s) indicative of responsiveness of AML blasts
