Abstract excerpt
The proliferation, differentiation, and survival of cells of the macrophage lineage depends on signals from the macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor (CSF1R). On a C57BL/6J background homozygous kinase-dead Csf1r mutation (Csf1rE631K/E631K-E631Km/m) causes perinatal lethality. By contrast, E631Km/m mice on a mixed genetic background (C57 × BALB/c) were osteoclast-deficient/osteopetrotic and growth...
