Production of IFN-γ and IL-4 in supernatants from cultures of peripheral blood mononuclear cells stimulated with G-CSF in vivo and in vitro

Before G-CSF After G-CSF
 IL-4 1.75 ± 0.25  7.5 ± 4.54  
 IFN-γ  400 ± 100 175 ± 75

 IL-4  1.8 ± 0.5 4 ± 0.4   
 IFN-γ  350 ± 87 110 ± 35

In part A, samples of lymphocytes were obtained before and after the administration of G-CSF. IL-4 and IFN-γ concentrations were measured after 24-hour PHA stimulation. In part B, samples of lymphocytes obtained from normal donors were cocultured with G-CSF for 24 hours and subsequently stimulated with anti-CD3 mAb for 48 hours. Concentrations (mean ± SEM of IL-4 and IFN-γ concentration in supernatants) were determined using ELISA and expressed as pg/mL. Results represent the summary of 2 experiments for part A and 5 experiments for part B.
