Abstract excerpt
The cytokines, interleukin-3 (IL-3), interleukin-5 (IL-5), and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), exhibit overlapping activities in the regulation of hematopoietic cells. In humans, the common beta (betac) receptor is shared by the three cytokines and functions together with cytokine-specific alpha subunits in signaling. A widely accepted hypothesis is that receptor activation requires...
