[colony-forming unit granulocyte; granulocyte colony-forming cells; granulocyte colony-forming units] Term used to describe a particular developmental type of blood-forming cells that is a precursor of granulocytes (see also: hematopoiesis).
CFU-G can be identified in a colony formation assay by the specific morphology of the cells. The cells are characterized by expressing the cell surface markers CD13, CD15, CD33 and HLA-DR.
GM-CSF strongly synergizes with G-CSF in the formation of colonies with the appearance of granulocytes
