Abstract
The effects of Lβcell conditioned medium which contains granulocyte/macrophage colony stimulating factor (CSF); of highly purified Lβcell CSF; and the antiserum directed against Lβcell CSF, have been investigated in longβterm murine bone marrow cultures. Treatment of cultures with CSF containing conditioned medium led to a rapid decline in haemopoiesis. However, this inhibition of in vitro haemopoiesis is probably caused by materials other than CSF, since the addition of highly purified Lβcell CSF had no appreciable effect upon longβterm haemopoietic cell proliferation or differentiation. Furthermore, the inhibitory activity of Lβcell conditioned medium was not abrogated following neutralization of the CSF activity by CSF antiserum. The direct addition of CSF antiserum did not inhibit granulocyte or macrophage formation. These results suggest that longβterm cultures of murine marrow cells may show extensive interactions with stromal cells which are not influenced by exogenous stimulatory or inhibitory factors.
