Am80‐GCSF synergizes myeloid expansion and differentiation to generate functional neutrophils that reduce neutropenia‐associated infection and mortality by Lin Li, Xiaotian Qi, Weili Sun, Hisham Abdel‐Azim, Siyue Lou, Hong Zhu, Nemani V Prasadarao, Alice Zhou, Hiroyuki Shimada, Koichi Shudo, Yong‐Mi Kim, Sajad Khazal, Qiaojun He, David Warburton, Lingtao Wu

“…The data demonstrated that during “emergency” granulopoiesis in CCIN mice undergoing transient systemic intravenous bacterial infection, Am80 effect on differentiating granulocytic precursors synergized with GCSF‐dependent myeloid expansion, resulting in large amounts of functional neutrophils that reduced infection. Importantly, extensive survival tests covering a full cycle of mouse CCIN with perpetual systemic intravenous bacterial infection proved that without causing myeloid overexpansion, Am80‐GCSF generated sufficient numbers of functional neutrophils that significantly reduced infection‐related mortality in CCIN mice. …”
