Abstract: | We have made a mutein of human G-CSF with more stable, and potent biological activity. Using 125 I-labeled mutein human G-CSF, high affinity binding sites were identified on human circulating neutrophils. Receptor number per cell was 560 with a Kd of 250 pM. The human G-CSF receptor was identified as a single subunit protein of Mr approximately 150,000. |
