Pegylated G-CSF Inhibits Blood Cell Depletion, Increases Platelets, Blocks Splenomegaly, and Improves Survival after Whole-Body Ionizing Irradiation but Not after Irradiation Combined with Burn

Figure 3

G-CSF improved survival after whole-body ionizing irradiation alone or after irradiation combined with skin wound. G-CSF was administered s.c. on day 1 at 24 h and thereafter once daily on days 2–14 after RI or CI. per group. RI + G-CSF versus RI + Veh; CI + G-CSF versus CI + Veh. Veh: vehicle; RI: 9.5 Gy; CI: 9.5 Gy and skin wound.
