Abstract

Serum levels of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and interleukin-3 (IL-3) as well as neutrophil counts were studied on the first, second and fifth days after birth, in order to elucidate the relations between neutrophil kinetics and these hematopoietic factors. The G-CSF and GM-CSF receptors on neutrophils were also investigated in 16 healthy newborns.
