Description:
The clonal proliferation of the committed granulocyte-macrophage stem cell is controlled by a balance between mutually opposing factors, colony stimulating factor and prostaglandin E, both of monocyte-macrophage derivation. Increases beyond a critical concentration of colony stimulating factor within the local milieu of the mononuclear phagocyte induces the coincident elaboration of prostaglandin E, a self-regulated response which serves to limit the unopposed humoral stimulation of myelopoiesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kurland, J I -- Bockman, R S -- Broxmeyer, H E -- Moore, M A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1978 Feb 3;199(4328):552-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/304600" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
