Bestatin, (25, 3R)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyryl-L-leucine, enhanced proliferation of normal human bone marrow granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells to form CFU-GM colonies in viscous methylcellulose medium in vitro. To elucidate the mechanisms of this effect, the levels of colony-stimulating factor (CSF) in culture supernatant of 1 x 10(6)/ml peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) cocultured with various concentrations of bestatin were determined using our newly developed sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The level of granulocyte/macrophage-CSF (GM-CSF) in the supernatant in the presence of 0.1 microgram/ml bestatin was 312 pg/ml by this ELISA. The production of GM-CSF increased with increasing amounts of added bestatin.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D016178 Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor An acidic glycoprotein of MW 23 kDa with internal disulfide bonds. The protein is produced in response to a number of inflammatory mediators by mesenchymal cells present in the hemopoietic environment and at peripheral sites of inflammation. GM-CSF is able to stimulate the production of neutrophilic granulocytes, macrophages, and mixed granulocyte-macrophage colonies from bone marrow cells and can stimulate the formation of eosinophil colonies from fetal liver progenitor cells. GM-CSF can also stimulate some functional activities in mature granulocytes and macrophages.
