Granulocyte Macrophage Growth Factor(GM-CSF) is one of an array of cytokines with pivotal roles in embryo implantation and subsequent
development. In response to cytokine or inflammatory stimuli, GM-CSF is produced by a number of different cell types, including T cells, B cells,
macrophages, mast cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and adipocytes (1). As a survival factor, GM-CSF activates the effector functions of granulocytes, monocytes/macrophages, and eosinophils (1, 2). GM-CSF promotes a Th1 biased immune response, angiogenesis, allergic inflammation, and the
development of autoimmunity (3-5). It shows clinical effectiveness in ameliorating chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, and GM-CSF
transfected tumor cells are utilized as cancer vaccines (6, 7). Mature human GM-CSF shares 63%-70% amino acid sequence identity with canine, feline, porcine, and rat GM-CSF and 54% with mouse GM-CSF. GM-CSF exerts its biological effects through a heterodimeric receptor complex composed of
GM-CSF R alpha /CD116 and the signal transducing common beta chain (CD131) which is also a component of the high-affinity receptors for IL-3 and
IL-5 (8, 9). In addition, GM-CSF binds a naturally occurring soluble form of GM-CSF R alpha (10).
