Abstract

The production of neutrophil granulocytes is a complex and dynamic process during which a small number of limited stem cells give rise to lineage specific progenitors that proliferate in the bone marrow subsequently entering the blood as mature polymorphonuclear leukocytes. One hematopoietic growth factor which appears to specifically control the proliferation and terminal maturation of this specific myeloid lineage is granulocyte colony stimulating factor.
