General description
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. GM-CSF promotes a Th1 biased immune response, angiogenesis, allergic inflammation, and the development of autoimmunity. It shows clinical effectiveness in ameliorating chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, and GM-CSF transfected tumor cells are utilized as cancer vaccines. The 22 kDa glycosylated GM-CSF, similar to IL-3 and IL-5, is a cytokine with a core of four bundled alpha -helices. Mature rat GM-CSF shares 56-69% amino acid sequence identity with canine, feline, human, mouse, and porcine 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. In addition, GM-CSF binds a naturally occurring soluble form of GM-CSF R alpha. Rat GM-CSF is active on mouse cells, although mouse GM-CSF is only weakly active on rat cells.
Specificity
Detects rat GM-CSF in direct ELISAs and Western blot. In direct ELISAs, approximately 100% cross-reactivity with recombinant feline GM-CSF and recombinant porcine GM-CSF is observed, approximately 30% cross-reactivity with recombinant mouse GM-CSF, recombinant canine GM-CSF and recombinant human GM-CSF is observed.
Immunogen
Purified recombinant rat GM-CSF expressed in E. coli.
Physical form
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of phosphate buffered saline with 5% trehalose
Reconstitution
Reconstitute at 0.2 mg/mL in sterile PBS.

GM-CSF was originally defined by its ability to generate in vitro granulocyte and macrophage colonies from bone marrow precursor cells. Apart from its physiological role in the control of alveolar macrophage development, it now appears more likely that its major

Clones of complementary DNA encoding the human lymphokine known as granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) were isolated by means of a mammalian cell (monkey COS cell) expression screening system. One of these clones was used to produce recombinant GM-CSF in mammalian
