Abstract / Description of output

A method is described for the analysis of [3H]-thymidine incorporation in microtitre cultures of bone marrow-derived mouse macrophage responding to macrophage colony-stimulating factor (CSF-1). [3H]-thymidine incorporation depends on cell density, culture medium, and the concentration of CSF-1 and serum, but is independent of Ca2+. Bone marrow-derived macrophages are strongly adherent, but adherence can be dissociated from [3H]-thymidine incorporation.
