title: Granulocyte factors as regulators of hemopoiesis. II. The mechanism of action and target cell for granulocyte factor activity.
abstract: Adherent granulocytes secrete a granulocyte factor (GF). This factor stimulates hemopoiesis in irradiated mice. The target cell for this hemopoiesis-regulating GF action is probably T lymphocyte. The results indicate that the target cell is hydrocortisone- and cyclophosphamide-sensitive and prove that granulocytes stimulate hemopoiesis in irradiated mice via secreted GF.
