Clone REA1215 recognizes the human granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), which is a hematopoietic growth factor that is essential for proliferation and development of granulocyte and monocyte/macrophage progenitors. It also functions as a growth factor for erythroid and megakaryocytic precursor cells in conjunction with erythropoietin. GM-CSF is secreted by various cell types including T cells, macrophages, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts in response to inflammatory stimuli and cytokines. In addition, GM-CSF strongly chemoattracts neutrophils and eosinophils and enhances the effector functions of neutrophils and macrophages.
Additional information: Clone REA1215 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.
