Macrophages and granulocytes are both immune cells derived from the same myeloid progenitor [1], [2] and function as first responders to infection by releasing cytokines [3]. Additionally, they are both involved in IL-6 secretion [4] and are influenced by GM-CSF, which regulates the differentiation and production of these cell types [5].

claimIL-6 is produced by monocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells, and upon stimulation, it is secreted by macrophages, T cells, B cells, mast cells, glial cells, eosinophils, keratinocytes, and granulocytes.

referenceGM-CSF is classified as an adaptive immunity cytokine, is produced by T cells, macrophages, and fibroblasts, binds to CD116 and CDw131 receptors, targets stem cells, and functions in the growth and differentiation of monocytes and the production of eosinophils and granulocytes.
