1.A patient has a low erythrocyte count. How may a colony-stimulating factor affect the patient's erythrocyte count?
A) It stimulates growth of red blood cells.
B) It suppresses T-cell production.
C) It inhibits protein synthesis.
D) It stimulates antibody production.
Ans: A
Feedback:
Colony-stimulating factors stimulate the production of red blood cells, platelets, granulocytes, granulocyte–macrophages, and monocyte–macrophages. Colony- stimulating factors will not suppress the T-cell production, inhibit protein production, or stimulate antibody production
