Human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) has been described as a multi-lineage growth factor that induces in vitro colony formation of bone marrow erythroid burst-forming units (BFU-E), multipotential colony-forming units (CFU-GEMM), granulocyte-macrophage CFU (CFU-GM), granul...
