Described are preferred processes and compositions for suppressing myeloid cells in mammals. Preferred processes and compositions involve the use of chemokines in synergistic combinations or while they are substantially completely in monomeric form (i.e. substantially free from their polymerized or aggregated forms).

Methods for suppressing myeloid cells with chemokines

Described are preferred processes for suppressing proliferation of or for myeloprotecting myeloid cells in mammals. The processes involve the use of chemokines of the group Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-2.alpha. (MIP-2.alpha.), Platelet Factor 4 (PF4), Interleukin-8 (IL-8) and Macrophage Chemotactic and Activating Factor (MCAF), or involve the use of these chemokines or Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-1.alpha. (MIP-1.alpha.) in synergistic combinations or while they are substantially completely in monomeric form (i.e. substantially free from their polymerized or aggregated forms).
