Differentiation and activation of functionally distinct macrophage populations by CSF-1 and GM-CSF (1991)Macrophages derived in vitro from bone marrow progenitor cells (BMDM) under the influence of CSF-1 or GM-CSF were compared for immune function. CSF-1- and GM-CSF-derived BMDM did not differ in their ability to kill L929 ...
