Abstract excerpt
We describe a nonviral transformation strategy for the establishment of permanent cell lines derived from the progeny of individual mouse splenic macrophage (M phi) progenitors. These colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1)-dependent cell lines possess many features of mature M phi s, including antibody-dependent phagocytic and cellular cytotoxic activities, ability to secrete lysozyme, and expression of the Mac-1...
