GM-CSF stands for Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor. It is one of the cytokines evaluated in the CytoDx Cytokine Response Profile test offered by Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory.
Cytokines are critical mediators of immune responses, and their imbalances have been linked to chronic inflammation and autoimmunity, which can play key roles in various health conditions and diseases.
GM-CSF is classified as a pro-inflammatory cytokine. It is involved in stimulating the production of granulocytes and macrophages from precursor cells, promoting their proliferation, differentiation, and activation. GM-CSF plays a crucial role in various immune responses and has implications in inflammation and autoimmune conditions.
