Abstract excerpt
Study of the differentiation of immunoglobulin-producing B lymphocytes has been hampered by the inability to maintain homogeneous populations of precursor cells in vitro. We describe here that interleukin-3 supports the growth of freshly isolated fetal liver pre-B cells and the long-term culture of interleukin-3 dependent pre-B-cell clones that can be induced to mature into antibody secreting cells in vitro.
