GM-CSF was initially characterized as a factor that can support the in vitro colony formation of granulocyte-macrophage progenitors. It is also a growth factor for erythroid, megakaryocyte, and eosinophil progenitors. GM-CSF is produced by a number of different cell types (including T cells, B cells, macrophages, mast cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and adipocytes) in response to cytokine or inflammatory stimuli. On mature hematopoietic cells, GM-CSF is a survival factor for and 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). The 22 kDa glycosylated GM-CSF, similar to IL-3 and IL-5, is a cytokine with a core of four bundled alpha ‑helices (8-10). Mature mouse GM-CSF shares 49-54% amino acid sequence identity with canine, feline, human, and porcine GM-CSF and 69% with rat 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 (11, 12). In addition, GM-CSF binds a naturally occurring soluble form of GM-CSF R alpha (13). The activity of GM-CSF is species specific between human and mouse. Mouse GM-CSF is only weakly active on rat cells, although rat GM-CSF is fully active on mouse cells (14, 15).

Scientific Data Images for Mouse GM‑CSF Antibody
Cell Proliferation Induced by GM‑CSF and Neutralization by Mouse GM‑CSF Antibody.
Recombinant Mouse GM‑CSF (Catalog # 415-ML) stimulates proliferation in the DA3 mouse myeloma cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Proliferation elicited by Recombinant Mouse GM‑CSF (0.75 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Mouse GM‑CSF Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB415). The ND50 is typically 0.03-0.09 µg/mL.
Detection of Mouse GM-CSF by In vivo assay
Effects of TRX on inflammatory cytokines in BALF from exposed to cigarette smoke and challenged with poly(I:C).(A) KC and (B) GM-CSF in BALF obtained 6 h and 3 days after poly(I:C) challenge. (C) Messenger RNA of GM-CSF in lung homogenates 3 days after poly(I:C) challenge in mice exposed to cigarette smoke treated with or without TRX. (D) Neutrophil and lymphocyte counts in BALF 3 days after poly(I:C) challenge in mice exposed to cigarette smoke treated with and without TRX or anti-GM-CSF antibody. Error bars represent standard deviation (SD) (A, B, and C, n = 3–4 per group; D and E, n = 5 per group); *p<0.05.
