Explain Gametocyte colony stimulating factor
It is produced by monocytes, fibroblasts and endothelial cells due to the stimulation of 1L-1. It stimulates proliferation of processors which are very specific - granulocytes. It also enhances effector response of these cells. Further, it can specifically stimulate:
- Neutrophil proliferation
- Their phagocyoticability p
- Produces cytototic free radicals such as the super oxide components, thus activates the lmmune system.
