We examined the effect of recombinant human macrophage-colony stimulating factor (rhM-
CSF) on mouse macrophage accessory functionsin vitro. The addition of rhM-CSF to an
allogenic mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) consisting of mouse spleen cells suppressed the
proliferation of lymphocytes in a concentration-dependent manner. However, rhM-CSF did
not suppress the mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) on the MLC that contained only purified
T and dendritic cells. This suggested that the suppressive effect of rhM-CSF on the MLR …
