claimThe myeloid progenitor cell is the precursor for granulocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and mast cells of the immune system.
claimNeutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils are collectively classified as granulocytes and circulate in the blood until they are recruited to act as effector cells at sites of infection and inflammation.
claimGranulocytes are relatively short-lived cells that are produced in increased numbers during immune responses, migrating from the blood to sites of infection or inflammation.

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.
referenceG-CSF is classified as a pro-inflammatory cytokine, is produced by fibroblasts and endothelium, binds to the CD114 receptor, targets stem cells in the bone marrow, and functions in granulocyte production.
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.
