Abstract excerpt
Multipotent hematopoietic progenitor cell lines (FDCP-Mix) infected with a retroviral vector expressing the GM-CSF gene show functional downregulation of the GM-CSF receptor when maintained in IL-3 and activation of the receptor resulting in synchronous differentiation into mature granulocytes and macrophages on withdrawal of IL-3. This system has now been used to investigate whether or not receptors for some of...
