Differential effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor on marrow- and blood-derived hematopoietic and immune cell populations in healthy human donors
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A recent phase III trial comparing granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-stimulated bone marrow (G-BM) and G-CSF-mobilized peripheral blood (G-PB) in matched sibling allograft recipients showed that G-BM produced a similar hematologic recovery but a reduced incidence of extensive chronic graft-versus-host disease, indicating differences in the cell populations infused. As a first step toward identifying these differences, we treated a group of healthy adult humans with 4 daily doses of G-CSF 10 microg/kg and monitored the effects on various hematopoietic and immune cell types in the PB and BM over 12 days. G-CSF treatment caused rapid and large but transient increases in the number of circulating CD34+ cells, colony-forming cells, and long-term culture-initiating cells and in the short-term repopulating activity detectable in nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficiency/beta2-microglobulin-null mice. Similar but generally less marked changes occurred in the same cell populations in the BM. G-CSF also caused transient perturbations in some immune cell types in both PB and BM: these included a greater increase in the frequency of naive B cells and CD123+ dendritic cells in the BM. The rapidity of the effects of G-CSF on the early progenitor activity of the BM provides a rationale for the apparent equivalence in rates of hematologic recovery obtained with G-BM and G-PB allotransplants. Accompanying effects on immune cell populations are consistent with a greater ability of G-BM to promote tolerance in allogeneic recipients, and this could contribute to a lower rate of chronic graft-versus-host disease.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
