Predictive value of hematological and phenotypical parameters on postchemotherapy leukocyte recovery [PDF]
Background: Grade IV chemotherapy toxicity is defined as absolute neutrophil count <500/μL. The nadir is considered as the lowest neutrophil number following chemotherapy, and generally is not expected before the 7th day from the start of chemotherapy.

The effects of hematopoietic growth factors on neurite outgrowth. [PDF]
Stem cell factor (SCF) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) are initially discovered as the essential hematopoietic growth factors regulating bone marrow stem cell proliferation and differentiation, and SCF in combination with G-CSF (SCF+G ...

G-CSF or not G-CSF? That is the question [PDF]
Although administration of myeloid colony-stimulating factors (G-CSF or GM-CSF) has been routinely used to increase the rate of neutrophil recovery, evidence suggests that clinical efficacy in the transplant setting is doubtful (Table 1). We performed two consecutive prospective randomized trials to assess the use of G-CSF (filgrastim) after autologous

The use of chemotherapy regimens carrying a moderate or high risk of febrile neutropenia and the corresponding management of febrile neutropenia: an expert survey in breast cancer and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma [PDF]
Background: The use of chemotherapy regimens with moderate or high risk of febrile neutropenia (defined as having a FN incidence of 10% or more) and the respective incidence and clinical management of FN in breast cancer and NHL has not been studied in ...

The granulocyte colony stimulating factor pathway regulates autoantibody production in a murine induced model of systemic lupus erythematosus [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: An NZB-derived genetic locus (Sle2c2) that suppresses autoantibody production in a mouse model of induced systemic lupus erythematosus contains a polymorphism in the gene encoding the G-CSF receptor.

Background: Myelosuppression is one of the frequent side effects of chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and pegylated G-CSF are used for the prevention of neutropenia after chemotherapy.

Effect in supralethally irradiated rats of granulocyte colony- stimulating factor and lisofylline on hematopoietic reconstitution by syngeneic bone marrow or whole organ passenger leukocytes [PDF]
We have previously shown the existence of migratory hematopoietic stem cells in adult solid organs. This study demonstrates that granulocyte colony- stimulating factor (G-CSF) and lisofylline, a phosphatidic acid inhibitor that suppresses hematopoiesis ...
