Abstract
Macrophages cultured from mouse bone marrow served as excellent indicator cells for mouse as well as for human migration inhibitory factor (MIF) preparations. The tests were performed in the capillary system and showed high reproducibility. Using mouse or human MIF‐containing supernatants, we found an inhibition of 53 % compared with the controls. Similar results were obtained if concanavalin A‐stimulated human peripheral blood lymphocytes were mixed with mouse test macrophages in a ratio of 1:5 or 1:10.

## Abstract The roles of colony‐stimulating factors in long‐term bone marrow cultures were studied and compared. After single additions of high concentrations of unpurified colony‐stimulating activities to the cultures, rapid deterioration of the cultures was observed. This appears to result from c
