| CSF-1 | Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor |
| GM-CSF | Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor |
| rGM-CSF | recombinant Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor |
| ACU | acquired cold urticaria; acute care unit; agar colony-forming unit; ambulatory care unit |
| multi-colony-stimulating factor | <cytokine> Product of mitogen activated T-cells: colony-stimulating factor for bone marrow stem cells and mast cells. A multilineage cell growth factor secreted by lymphocytes, epithelial cells, and astrocytes which stimulates clonal proliferation and differentiation of various types of blood and tissue cells. It is considered one of the haematopoietic colony-stimulating factors. Synonym: multi-CSF Acronym: IL-3 (12 Dec 1998) |
