Maintenance of accuracy during amino acid starvation.

abstract：:Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) has been recently shown to induce the high-affinity Fc receptor for IgG (Fc(gammaRI)/CD64) in human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN). To elucidate the molecular mechanisms whereby G-CSF exerts this effect, we examined whether the cytokine induces the binding of transcri...
