  • Recombinant DNA molecules
    Patent number: 5602007
    Abstract: This invention provides a DNA sequence coding for a mammalian granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), a method of obtaining same, vectors and hosts harboring same. The sequence is useful as a probe for identifying related sequences, selecting GM-CSF encoding mRNA from a mixture of mRNAs containing same, and a source of GM-CSF DNA for expression in an appropriate expression vector. The GM-CSF protein encoded by the sequence is useful for stimulating the production of granulocytes and macrophages from their respective progenitor cells.
