MACROPHAGE COLONY-STIMULATING FACTOR [2 records]

Record 1 1993-02-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology
CONT

Granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cell... Granulocyte-macrophage precursor cells ... granulocyte-macrophage CFU (CFU-GM) and erythroid burst-forming unit colonies ... (J.P. Somadossi et al. Antimicrob. Agents and Chemother, 1988, v. 32, no 7, p. 997).

CONT

In the present study, macrophage progenitor cells in the bone marrow(GM-CFC) and liver granulomas(M-CFC) were enumerated and macrophage colony-stimulating factor(CSF-1) in the circulation....(C. R. Clark, et al. Infection and Immunology, 1988, v. 56, no 10, p. 2680).

OBS

CFC: colony-forming cell.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
DEF

Cellules donnant naissance in vitro à des colonies de granulocytes et de monocytes.

CONT

Les cellules non lymphoïdes du sang proviennent d'une cellule souche multipotente CFU-GEMM (colony-forming unit-granulocyte, erythrocyte, monocyte, megakariocyte). La CFU-GEMM se différencie elle-même en cellules-souches d'une seule lignée sanguine : CFU-MK pour la lignée mégacaryocyto-plaquettaire, CFU-GM pour la lignée granulocyto-monocytaire, CFU-Eo pour la lignée éosinophile, BFU-E et CFU-E pour la lignée érythroïde.

Subject field(s)
  • Cytology

DEF

colony stimulating factor: A glycoprotein lymphokine produced by blood monocytes, tissue moenphages, and stimulated lymphocytes required for differentiation of stem cells into granulocyte and monocyte cell colonies, and which may be required in granulopoieris.

CONT

Schématiquement, on peut distinguer trois catégories de CSF hématopoïétiques en fonction de leurs principales cellules cibles [...] Le troisième groupe comprend les CSFs spécifiques d'une lignée de différenciation : le granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) et le macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) ont une action restreinte aux lignées respectivement granuleuse et monocytaire, l'interleukine 5 stimule l'éosinophilopoïèse et l'érythropoïétine (EPO) stimule la fabrication des globules rouges.
