Production of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor by cultured human tracheal epithelial cells.
Cells from the grossly enlarged organ were grown in culture and found to produce substances with potentially therapeutic properties -- including a white-blood-cell-stimulating substance now known as granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), which researchers say may prove useful against cancer of AIDS.
Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) was also administered as an adjuvant in order to stimulate the immune system.
