  • Title: The growth of swine bone marrow cells in the presence of heterologous colony stimulating factor: characterization of the developing cell population.
    Author: Mayer P.
    Journal: Comp Immunol Microbiol Infect Dis; 1983; 6(2):171-87. PubMed ID: 6602029.
    Abstract:
    Conditioned medium prepared from the mouse fibroblast cell line L 929 which is known to produce colony-stimulating factor active on mouse bone marrow cells was also able to stimulate the growth of swine bone marrow cells in a liquid culture system. During the first 4 days of culture mononuclear phagocyte and granulocyte colonies developed. Prolonged cultured cells were classified belonging to the macrophage lineage by morphological and cytochemical criteria. These cells fulfill also functional characteristics for macrophages, like expression of Fc receptors, immune phagocytosis and production of prostaglandins. These bone marrow-derived macrophages could also be activated with LPS and lymphocyte-derived mediators.
