title: Gene structure and function of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor.
abstract: In the last few years, the molecular and genetic nature of the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, which controls proliferation and differentiation of neutrophils, has been characterized. Recent clinical application of G-CSF proves that this hormone is effective in the treatment of patients suffering from neutropenia.
