Abstract excerpt
It has been reported recently that granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is degraded upon exposure to human neutrophil elastase (HNE), and this has a negative effect on the ability of the cytokine to promote the in vitro proliferation and maturation of CD34+ cells. This has important implications on the possible in vivo role of elastase in providing negative feedback to granulopoiesis by the direct...
