Evidence for the Glycosylation of the Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor Receptor
The granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor (G-CSFR) was overexpressed in WEHI-3B D+ myelomonocytic leukemia cells by the transfection of an expression plasmid containing the murine G-CSFR cDNA. Two different forms of the G-CSFR were observed in these cells by western blotting.
