GM-CSF is well recognized as a proliferative agent for hematopoietic cells and exerts a priming function on neutrophils. The aim of this study was to determine if GM-CSF has a role as a neutrophil chemoattractant in vivo and if it can contribute to recruitment during intestinal inflammation. Initial studies in vitro, using the under-agarose gel assay, determined that GM-CSF can induce neutrophil migration at a much lower molar concentration than the fMLP-like peptide WKYMVm (33.5-134 nM vs. 1-10 mu M). GM-CSF-induced neutrophil migration was ablated (
