This factor is a colony stimulating factor (see also: CSF). The (old) name derives from its ability to stimulate in vitro the development of colonies containing a variety of hematopoietic cell lineages, supporting, for example, the growth of CFU-G, CFU-M, CFU-Eo, and CFU-MEG in a colony formation assay (Sieff et al, 1989). The factor is identical with IL3. See also: Multi-CSF.
The term has been used also for GM-CSF.
