Abstract

Colony stimulating factor (CSF) was initially named for the activity or factor which modulated colony formations of mature granulocytes originated from a progenitor cell in bone marrow in a culture dish. In this article, we described a detective system for CSF, CSF-producing tumor which strongly suggested to us that CSF was not only a factor in vitro phenomenon but also a factor working actually in vivo. Finally, we presented a few experiences of administration of recombinant CSF to experimental animals and finally several cases of clinical trials of CSF which seem to be very potent and able agents for granulopenic patients.
