... bovine serum (FBS) in the presence of FF (from 10 -12 to 10 -7 M ) for 6-24 h. Cytokine [granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8] concentrations in supernatants were measured by ELISA. Peripheral blood eosinophils were incubated for 4 days with epithelial...

... blood cells were purified from peripheral blood samples obtained from normal subjects and mildly allergic patients. Eosinophils were cultured in the presence of 10 ng/ml granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), 10 ng/ml IL-5, 100 ng/ml IFN-γ, 100 ng/ml IFN-α, or immobilized secretory...

... was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner (over about 1–100 mg/ml) by treatment with anti-granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) antibody. These results suggest that PAF induces the release of chemotactic factors for neutrophils and eosinophils from guinea-pig tracheal epithelial cells...

...Masashi Shiiba; Satoshi Takaki; Kiyoshi Takatsu Interleukin-5 (IL-5), IL-3 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) exhibit similar functions on eosinophils, and these common functions are believed to be mediated by the shared β chain of receptors. IL-5 shows activity...
