Abstract
Several previous studies suggested that murine macrophage colony-stimulating factor (CSF-1) might have impaired access to hematopoietic cells in the marrow. The apparent lack of hematopoietic responses to exogenous CSF and the finding of available or unoccupied CSF receptors despite saturating CSF levels in the serum led to studies of a potential blood-bone marrow barrier for this factor. Groups of mice were injected with pure unlabeled CSF-1 by either intravenous (IV) or intraperitoneal (IP) routes. Marrow and spleen cells were obtained at intervals after injection, held at 0 degree C, and assessed for changes in binding of 125I-CSF. Saturation of all available CSF receptors is achieved in vitro with 100 to 150 U CSF/mL. Despite achieving serum levels of 5,000 to 7,000 U/mL after IV injection of 25,000 units of CSF, less than 50% of the marrow receptors and less than 85% of the splenic receptors were saturated or downregulated. The decline in receptor availability was transient, with return of receptor sites in two to four hours. Increasing the IV dose to 125,000 units increased serum CSF values to approximately 20,000 U/mL and led to a virtual disappearance of available receptors for two to three hours. When administered IP, only approximately 40% of marrow and 80% of splenic receptors were affected for two hours. It was necessary to increase the dose of CSF to 250,000 units IP to saturate or downregulate receptors for three to four hours after injection. These observations indicate a marked blood-bone marrow barrier and lesser blood-spleen barrier for the transfer of serum CSF to responsive hematopoietic cells in vivo.

Abstract
We describe monoclonal antibodies (mAbs: anti-MaG-1, TGI-1, TGI-5, and TGI-6) that block the proliferation of AML-193 cells in response to GM-CSF or IL-3 and do not affect the proliferation of AML-193 cells in response to G-CSF and IL-2-driven proliferation of Kit 225 cells. However, none of the mAbs tested had any stimulative effect on the proliferation of AML-193 cells. The mAbs (anti-MaG-1, TGI-1, -5, and -6) could inhibit the binding of [125I]GM-CSF to AML-193 cells. We were able to purify MaG-1 Ag by anti-MaG-1 affinity chromatography. Thus, the MaG-1 Ag and the Ags recognised by mAbs (TGI-1, -5, and -6) may be associated with the receptor for GM-CSF or IL-3 or a structure close to the receptor for GM-CSF or IL-3.

Abstract
The macrophage colony stimulating factor, CSF-1 (M-CSF) exerts its pleiotropic effects on hematopoietic cells of the mononuclear phagocyte series by binding to a single class of high affinity receptors encoded by the c-fms proto-oncogene. Binding of CSF-1 to its receptor activates an intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity, resulting in autophosphorylation of the receptor on tyrosine, rapid receptor down modulation, and phosphorylation of as yet unidentified physiologic substrates that initiate a mitogenic response. Transduction of a human CSF-1 receptor cDNA into mouse fibroblasts enables them to proliferate in response to human recombinant CSF-1, suggesting that the receptor gene contains all the information necessary to elicit a mitogenic response, even in cells which do not normally respond to the growth factor. The v-fms oncogene product has undergone genetic alterations which constitutively activate the receptor kinase in the absence of CSF 1. Insertion of the v-fms gene into macrophage or immature myeloid cell lines abrogates their dependence on hematopoietic growth factors and renders them tumorigenic in nude mice. Reconstitution of lethally irradiated mice with bone marrow stem cells containing the v-fms oncogene also induces clonal proliferation and, ultimately, frank malignancies of multiple hematopoietic lineages. Thus, constitutive activation of the CSF-1 receptor gene, either by mutation or gene rearrangement, might be expected to contribute to leukemia.

Abstract
The macrophage colony-stimulating factor, CSF-1 (M-CSF), is a homodimeric glycoprotein required for the lineage-specific growth of cells of the mononuclear phagocyte series. Apart from its role in stimulating the proliferation of bone marrow-derived precursors of monocytes and macrophages, CSF-1 acts as a survival factor and primes mature macrophages to carry out differentiated functions. Each of the actions of CSF-1 are mediated through its binding to a single class of high-affinity receptors expressed on monocytes, macrophages, and their committed progenitors. The CSF-1 receptor (CSF-1R) is encoded by the c-fms proto-oncogene, and is one of a family of growth factor receptors that exhibits an intrinsic tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity. Transduction of c-fms sequences as a viral oncogene (v-fms) in the McDonough (SM) and HZ-5 strains of feline sarcoma virus has resulted in alterations in receptor coding sequences that affect its activity as a tyrosine kinase and provide persistent signals for cell growth in the absence of its ligand. The genetic alterations in the c-fms gene that unmask its latent transforming potential abrogate its lineage-specific activity and enable v-fms to transform a variety of cells that do not normally express CSF-1 receptors.

Abstract
The gene product of the c-fms proto-oncogene is a transmembrane protein with tyrosine-kinase activity that is obviously related to the receptor for the colony-stimulating-factor CSF-1. By Northern blot analysis, we investigated the expression of the cellular counterpart of v-fms in purified normal human blood mononuclear cells and different macrophage populations. The proto-oncogene c-fms expression was demonstrable in blood monocytes but not in blood lymphocytes. Short-term cultivated blood monocytes exhibited an increased expression of c-fms in comparison to freshly isolated blood monocytes, possibly due to a temporary down regulation of c-fms during the separation procedure of blood monocytes. A comparably high rate of fms-RNA expression was found in most of the analyzed samples of resident peritoneal macrophages, while resident alveolar macrophages showed a considerably lower level of c-fms expression. In this, alveolar macrophages resembled long-term cultivated adherent blood monocytes, which showed a down regulation of c-fms expression. By correlating these data obtained by Northern blot analysis with phenotypic properties of the analyzed monocyte/macrophage populations, it is concluded that different levels of c-fms expression in monocytes/macrophages correspond to their stage of differentiation and maturity.

Abstract
An increasing number of cytokines including GM-CSF, G-SCF, M-CSF, IL-3, IL-1 and IL-4, have been implicated in the control of the growth and differentiation of hematopoietic cells. The characterization of the cell surface receptors for these proteins is described. The binding of rh IL-3 to human monocytes is described in some detail, and the binding parameters measured for this cytokine are compared with those determined for the other cytokines. The range of cells to which rh IL-3, rh GM-CSF and rh G-CSF bind is more restricted than that observed for the cytokines IL-1 and IL-4, which bind to a diverse spectrum of cell types. Practical applications of receptor studies include the determination of receptor affinity as a measure of recombinant cytokine potency and the use of the receptor ligand interaction to establish sensitive radioreceptor assays for the detection of cytokines in solution. Finally, methods used for the molecular characterization of cytokine receptors are described and summarized for the CSF receptors, IL-4 and IL-1.

Abstract
A chimeric gene specifying the 308 N-terminal amino acids of the extracellular ligand binding domain of the human c-fms protooncogene joined to the remainder of the feline v-fms oncogene product encodes a functional colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1) receptor. When expressed in mouse NIH 3T3 fibroblasts, the chimeric gene product was rapidly transported to the cell surface, was autophosphorylated on tyrosine only in response to human recombinant CSF-1, underwent ligand-induced but not phorbol ester-induced down-modulation, and stimulated CSF-1-dependent cell proliferation. By contrast, the C-terminally truncated glycoprotein encoded by the v-fms oncogene is partially inhibited in its transport to the plasma membrane, is constitutively phosphorylated on tyrosine, and is relatively refractory to both ligand-induced and phorbol ester-induced down-modulation. Although the v-fms oncogene can transform cells in the absence of CSF-1, its tyrosine kinase activity and turnover can be appropriately regulated by the human c-fms-encoded ligand binding domain. The results confirm that C-terminal truncation of the c-fms gene is insufficient to activate its transforming potential and suggest that an additional mutation in its distal extracellular domain is required for oncogenic activation.

Abstract
The macrophage-specific CSF (CSF-1), purified from murine L cell-conditioned medium, supports the in vitro proliferation and survival of various murine mononuclear phagocyte colony-forming cells. In this report we describe the production and functional characterization of two monoclonal antibodies (mAb) to CSF-1 obtained from rat X rat hybridomas. These two mAb are functionally distinct and recognize different epitopes on CSF-1. The mAb 5A1 binds to and inhibits the biologic function of CSF-1, and the second mAb (D24) binds CSF-1 but does not neutralize its biologic activity. The mAb 5A1 inhibits colony formation of tissue mononuclear phagocyte colony-forming cells as well as the committed bone marrow stem cells for both granulocytes and monocytes. The extent of colony inhibition by mAb 5A1 is dependent on the tissue origin of colony-forming cells. CSF-1 complexed with mAb 5A1 does not bind to its cell surface receptor of peritoneal exudate macrophages, and mAb 5A1 does not complex with cell-bound CSF-1. Although both bone marrow cell-derived macrophages and J774.1 macrophages bind CSF-1, mAb 5A1 inhibits the proliferation of only bone marrow cell-derived macrophages. The non-neutralizing mAb D24 does not block binding of CSF-1 to its cellular receptor, and it recognizes cell-bound CSF-1.

Abstract
The use of different myeloid leukemic cell lines (WEHI-3B D+ and M1) and different sources of factors has led to discrepancies concerning the identity of factors capable of inducing differentiation in leukemic cells. We have biochemically fractionated medium conditioned by one such source (Krebs II ascites cells) and assayed fractions for their bone marrow colony-stimulating activity as well as their differentiation-inducing activity for WEHI-3B D+ and M1 cells. This resulted in the resolution of four distinct molecular species with differentiation-inducing activity. One activity was purified to homogeneity and shown by a variety of biochemical, biological, and receptor-binding criteria to be authentic granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). A second activity was identified as granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Two other activities termed LIF-A and LIF-B (leukemia inhibitory factor) were shown to probably be different glycosylation variants of the same protein and one of these (LIF-A) was purified 12,000-fold to homogeneity. G-CSF induced differentiation in both WEHI-3B D+ and at higher concentrations M1 cells while GM-CSF weakly induced differentiation in WEHI-3B D+ cells. LIF-A had no colony-stimulating activity and induced differentiation in and inhibited the proliferation of only M1 cells. Each factor bound to a unique cell surface receptor with no evidence of direct cross-reactivity.

Abstract
Treatment of HL-60 leukemia cells with the inducers of differentiation dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and 6-thioguanine (TG) reduces the proliferative capacity of the cells. DMSO acted in a serum-independent manner and reversibly inhibited competence to enter S phase after 24 h of treatment. Purified human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) but not human CSF-1, restored S phase competence and growth of DMSO-treated cells over a 7-day period. GM-CSF had no effect on the saturation density of control cells, even under conditions of reduced growth. Furthermore, GM-CSF antagonized the growth inhibitory actions of TG associated with cytodifferentiation but not those associated solely with TG cytotoxicity. The number of high affinity, cell surface GM-CSF receptors doubled after treatment of HL-60 cells with DMSO for 24 h and reached a maximum 4- to 5-fold increase within 72 h of exposure. The Kd of GM-CSF binding, 240 pM, was comparable to the concentration required to elicit a mitogenic response in DMSO-treated cells. An HL-60 variant that had been selected for resistance to TG-induced growth inhibition and differentiation (R. E. Gallagher et al., Cancer Res., 44: 2642-2653, 1984) was found to have less than 20% of the cell surface GM-CSF receptors when compared to either wild type cells, or a variant line selected for resistance to TG cytotoxicity. These studies demonstrate that HL-60 cells undergoing differentiation simultaneously lose autonomous growth properties and acquire cell surface growth factor receptors and mitogenic responsiveness.

Abstract
Metabolic labeling of simian virus 40-immortalized murine macrophages with 32Pi and immunoblotting with antibodies to phosphotyrosine demonstrated that the c-fms proto-oncogene product (colony-stimulating factor 1 [CSF-1] receptor) was phosphorylated on tyrosine in vivo and rapidly degraded in response to CSF-1. Stimulation of the CSF-1 receptor also induced immediate phosphorylation of several other cellular proteins on tyrosine. By contrast, the mature cell surface glycoprotein encoded by the v-fms oncogene was phosphorylated on tyrosine in the absence of CSF-1, suggesting that it functions as a ligand-independent kinase.

Abstract
The protein kinase domains of v-kit, the oncogene of the acute transforming feline retrovirus HZ4-FeSV (HZ4-feline sarcoma virus), CSF-1R (macrophage colony stimulating factor receptor) and PDGFR (platelet derived growth factor receptor) display extensive homology. Because of the close structural relationship of v-kit, CSF-1R and PDGFR we predicted that c-kit would encode a protein kinase transmembrane receptor (Besmer et al., 1986a; Yarden et al., 1986). We have now determined the primary structure of murine c-kit from a DNA clone isolated from a brain cDNA library. The nucleotide sequence of the c-kit cDNA predicts a 975 amino acid protein product with a calculated mol. wt of 109.001 kd. It contains an N-terminal signal peptide, a transmembrane domain (residues 519-543) and in the C-terminal half the v-kit homologous sequences (residues 558-925). c-kit therefore contains the features which are characteristic of a transmembrane receptor kinase. Comparison of c-kit, CSF-1R and PDGFR revealed a unique structural relationship of these receptor kinases suggesting a common evolutionary origin. The outer cellular domain of c-kit was shown to be related to the immunoglobulin superfamily. The sites of expression of c-kit in normal tissue predict a function in the brain and in hematopoietic cells. N-terminal sequences which include the extracellular domain and the transmembrane domain as well as 50 amino acids from the C-terminus of c-kit are deleted in v-kit. These structural alterations are likely determinants of the oncogenic activation of v-kit.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a specific humoral growth factor that stimulates both neutrophilic granulocyte and macrophage production by bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor cells. GM-CSF also stimulates the proliferation and clonal growth of both tissue macrophages and blood monocytes. Although at low concentrations GM-CSF was unable to support the long-term growth of tissue macrophages, it greatly enhanced their responsiveness to macrophage CSF (M-CSF, or CSF-1). This effect was also observed by treating macrophages with GM-CSF for a short time. GM-CSF did not compete with M-CSF for binding to M-CSF receptors nor was it inactivated by treatment with anti-M-CSF antiserum. Treatment of tissue macrophages with GM-CSF led to a rapid but transient downregulation of M-CSF receptors; prolonged incubation at 37 degrees C, however, resulted in a restoration and upregulation of M-CSF receptors. Identical effects were observed with both native or recombinant GM-CSF. This study suggests that GM-CSF regulates tissue macrophage production by two modes of action: (a) direct stimulation of macrophage proliferation, and (b) enhancement of their responsiveness to M-CSF.

Abstract
Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (CSF-1; M-CSF) is a growth factor required for growth and differentiation of mononuclear phagocytes. The effects of CSF-1 are mediated through binding to specific, high-affinity surface receptors encoded by the c-fms gene. CSF-1 and c-fms gene expression was investigated in fresh human acute myeloblastic leukemic cells by Northern blot hybridization using cDNA probes. 4.0-kb CSF-1 transcripts were detected in 10 of 17 cases of acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML), while c-fms transcripts were detected in 7 of 15. Coexpression of CSF-1 and c-fms was observed in five cases, and in five other cases neither gene was expressed. In situ hybridization demonstrated that transcripts for CSF-1 were present in 70-90% of cells in each of three cases studied while c-fms mRNA was detected in 40-70% of cells. The constitutive expression of CSF-1 transcripts was associated with production of CSF-1 protein, although detectable amounts of CSF-1 were not secreted unless the cells were exposed to phorbol ester. These results demonstrate that leukemic myeloblasts from a subset of patients with AML express transcripts for both the CSF-1 and CSF-1 receptor genes, often in the same leukemic cells in vitro.

Abstract
Granulocyte/macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is an effective growth factor for the blasts of acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML). Radioiodinated Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-cell derived GM-CSF was prepared using Bolton-Hunter reagent to label free amino groups on the protein. Normal human neutrophils and the blast cells from AML patients were examined for binding. We found that there were fewer receptors of higher affinity on blast cells compared with neutrophils. After brief culture in suspension, receptor number increased and affinity decreased. Experiments provided evidence that GM-CSF from Escherichia coli had a higher affinity for neutrophils (kd = 20 pM) than the CHO-cell derived protein (kd = 500 pM-1 nM). This difference was reflected in the increased effectiveness of the E. coli protein over the CHO protein to stimulate colony formation in both normal bone marrow cells and AML blasts.

Abstract
Human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a cytokine derived from activated T cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and macrophages. It stimulates myeloid and erythroid progenitors to form colonies in semisolid medium in vitro, as well as enhancing multiple differentiated functions of mature neutrophils, macrophages, and eosinophils. We have examined the binding of human GM-CSF to a variety of responsive human cells and cell lines. The most mature myelomonocytic cells, specifically human neutrophils, macrophages, and eosinophils, express the highest numbers of a single class of high affinity receptors (Kd approximately 37 pM, 293-1000 sites/cell). HL-60 and KG-1 cells exhibit an increase in specific binding at high concentrations of GM-CSF; computer analysis of the data is nonetheless consistent with a single class of high affinity binding sites with a Kd approximately 43 pM and 20-450 sites/cell. Dimethyl sulfoxide induces a 3-10-fold increase in high affinity receptors expressed in HL-60 cells, coincident with terminal neutrophilic differentiation. Finally, binding of 125I-GM-CSF to fresh peripheral blood cells from six patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia was analyzed. In three of six cases, binding was similar to the nonsaturable binding observed with HL-60 and KG-1 cells. GM-CSF binding was low, or in some cases, undetectable on myeloblasts obtained from eight patients with acute myelogenous leukemia. The observed affinities of the receptor for GM-CSF are consistent with all known biological activities. Affinity labeling of both normal neutrophils and dimethyl sulfoxide-induced HL-60 cells with unglycosylated 125I-GM-CSF yielded a band of 98 kDa, implying a molecular weight of approximately 84,000 for the human GM-CSF receptor.

Abstract
Purified recombinant murine granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) was labeled with 125I and used to examine the GM-CSF receptor on unfractionated normal murine bone marrow cells, casein-induced peritoneal exudate cells, and highly purified murine granulocyte/macrophage progenitor cells (CFU-GM). CFU-GM were isolated from cyclophosphamide-treated mice by Ficoll-Hypaque density centrifugation followed by counterflow centrifugal elutriation. The resulting population had a cloning efficiency of 62-99% in cultures containing conditioned medium from pokeweed mitogen-stimulated spleen cells and 55-86% in the presence of a plateau concentration of purified recombinant murine GM-CSF. Equilibrium binding studies with 125I-labeled GM-CSF showed that normal bone marrow cells, casein-induced peritoneal exudate cells, and purified CFU-GM had a single class of high-affinity receptor with an approximate Ka of 10(8)-10(9) M-1. CFU-GM expressed an average of 3783 +/- 4 receptors per cell; normal bone marrow cells, 1518 +/- 242 receptors per cell; and peritoneal exudate cells, 2025 +/- 216 receptors per cell. Affinity crosslinking studies demonstrated that 125I-labeled GM-CSF bound specifically to two species of Mr 180,000 and 70,000 on CFU-GM, normal bone marrow cells, and peritoneal exudate cells. The Mr 70,000 species is thought to be a proteolytic fragment of the intact Mr 180,000 receptor. The present studies indicate that the GM-CSF receptor expressed on CFU-GM and mature myeloid cells are structurally similar. In addition, the number of GM-CSF receptors on CFU-GM is twice the average number of receptors on casein-induced mature myeloid cells, suggesting that receptor number may decrease as CFU-GM mature.

Abstract
FMP2.1, a cloned cell line which has morphological characteristics of mast/basophil cells, requires either interleukin 3 (IL-3) or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) for both survival and proliferation. IL-3 and GM-CSF were equally effective as proliferative stimuli. FMP2.1 cells were sensitive to growth factor stimulation in the G1 phase, which has a duration of 9.5 h. G1 cells were selected from FMP2.1 in log phase growth on the basis of Hoechst 33324 staining using a fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS). It was found that G1 phase cells had to be exposed to either IL-3 or GM-CSF for approximately 1 h for cells to enter S (greater than 20%); without growth factor, FMP2.1 remained in G1 unable to progress into S. Receptor expression was analyzed to further understand this rapid activation of FMP2.1 into cycle. Autoradiography using either 125I-IL-3 or 125I-GM-CSF showed that most cells express both receptor types. In the presence of saturating concentrations of IL-3, FMP2.1 have a relatively high number of IL-3 receptors (42,000/cell) compared to other cell lines (e.g., 32D cl23; 13,000 receptors/cell), and far outnumber GM-CSF receptors on the same cells (600 receptors/cell). Although average IL-3 receptor expression differed for FMP2.1- and IL-3-dependent 32D cl23, the concentration-dependent proliferative response to IL-3 was essentially identical for both cell types. Scatchard plot analysis for 125I-IL-3 and 125I-GM-CSF binding to FMP2.1 cells at 4 degrees C revealed a single type of binding site for both ligands, with dissociation constants (Kd) of approximately 1 nM for GM-CSF and 8 pM for IL-3. The relatively high affinity IL-3 binding to a large number of available IL-3 receptors was associated with a shallow dose response of the FMP2.1 cells to IL-3, compared to the steep GM-CSF dose response which was mediated through fewer receptor sites of relatively low affinity. Mitogenic stimulation of G1 phase cells was observed with either IL-3 or GM-CSF, and appeared to be unaffected by differences in receptor number or binding affinity.

Abstract
125I-labeled colony-stimulating factor (CSF) binds to granulocytic and monocytic cells in the bone marrow in an irreversible manner. Addition of a 1000-fold excess of unlabeled CSF does not displace the bound material. The present studies showed that brief exposures to pH 2.7-5.0 caused a marked release of the bound material. Such treatments were nontoxic to the marrow cells as judged by trypan blue dye exclusion, assay of colony-forming cells, and by analysis of rebinding of fresh 125I-CSF to the acid-treated cells. The CSF released from marrow cells by low pH revealed two peaks of radioactivity on SDS-acrylamide gel. The first peak (67,500 Da) corresponded to native CSF; a second peak of 53,500 Da was observed. Despite this apparent mild degradation of CSF, the released material showed greater binding to marrow and greater precipitation by anti-CSF than the native 125I-CSF. Further studies showed that acid treatment of marrow cells led to stabilization of the CSF receptors. Pretreatment at pH 4.0 led to retention of binding sites after conversion of marrow cultures to pH 7.5 and incubation at 22-37 degrees C. In contrast, cells that were not exposed to low pH lost receptors rapidly at these temperatures. The extent of preservation of the binding sites was related to the duration of acid exposure. These studies indicate that CSF is retained on the cell surface after binding at 0 degree C and that the CSF can be eluted by acid conditions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The gene product of the viral proto-oncogene v-fms, associated with the feline sarcoma virus (SM-FeSV), is a glycoprotein of 170 kd with associated tyrosine kinase activity. The murine c-fms proto-oncogene produces a similar glycoprotein of 165 kd and has been implicated as a similar, if not identical, molecule to the cell surface receptor of the hematopoietic growth factor CSF-1. Employing a v-fms probe in an in situ hybridization assay we examined the expression of c-fms transcripts in a population of purified granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells (CFU-GM). Using this approach, which requires only 10-20 thousand cells, we demonstrate that 53% of the cells in the purified CFU-GM containing fraction (FR-28) express c-fms transcripts. In the presence of natural purified CSF-1, 51% +/- 3% of FR-28 cells form colonies or clusters in a semi-solid culture assay system. 94% of the colonies and clusters stimulated by CSF-1 were morphologically macrophage in nature. In addition, 84% +/- 4% of FR-28 cells formed colonies and clusters when stimulated with pokeweed mitogen spleen cell conditioned medium (PWMSCM) in a similar in vitro assay (35% granulocyte, 29% macrophage and 39% mixed granulocyte/macrophage colonies). These results indicate there is a correlation between the responsiveness of CFU-GM progenitor cells to CSF-1 and the expression of c-fms RNA.

Abstract
The binding, internalization and degradation rates of three different murine colony-stimulating factors (Multi-CSF or interleukin-3, GM-CSF and G-CSF) and their receptor turnover rates were determined for normal bone marrow cells and a number of different cell lines at 37 degrees C. The kinetic parameters were extracted from a curve-fitting analysis of the approach to steady-state of surface-bound and internalized CSFs by methods described by Myers et al. (1987). The primary binding kinetic constants (association and dissociation) for each CSF on different cell types were similar, suggesting a single type of receptor for each CSF. In all cases, CSF binding induced a faster rate of internalization of occupied receptors than unoccupied receptors and resulted in significant accumulation of CSF inside the cell under steady-state conditions. The steady-state constant, determining the relationship between CSF concentration and receptor occupancy, indicated that, in all cases, more receptors were occupied at a given CSF concentration under steady-state conditions than would be under equilibrium conditions. Nevertheless, the data predicted that maximal biological effects of the CSFs were exerted at concentrations that did not result in full receptor occupancy. Comparison of the kinetic constants derived for the same CSF interacting with different types of cells or different CSFs interacting with the same cell type indicated that CSF and receptor processing resulted from a dynamic interplay of receptor-determined and cell-determined events. This resulted in a flexibility of the kinetic parameters that matched the variety of biological responses elicited by CSFs in different cell types.

Abstract
We have cloned and expressed a cDNA encoding a human receptor for IgG (Fc gamma R) from the monocyte cell line U937. The deduced structure is a 35-kD transmembrane protein with homology to the mouse Fc[gamma 2b/gamma 1] receptor amino acid sequence of approximately 60% in the extracellular domain. The signal sequence is homologous to the mouse Fc gamma R alpha cDNA clone, while the transmembrane domain shares homology with mouse Fc gamma R beta cDNAs. The cytoplasmic domain is apparently unique. The extracellular domain shows significant homology to proteins of the Ig gene superfamily, including the human c-fms protooncogene/CSF-1 receptor. Mouse Ltk- cells transfected with the human Fc gamma R cDNA express a cell-surface receptor that selectively binds human IgG and is recognized by the anti-Fc gamma RII mAb IV.3. Antibodies against peptides derived from the human Fc gamma R sequence specifically stain U937 cells, but not an Fc gamma RII-bearing B-lymphoblastoid cell line (Daudi). These results identify the human Fc gamma RII as the homologue of mouse Fc[gamma 2b/gamma 1] R, and provide evidence for heterogeneity of Fc gamma RII expressed on monocytes and B cells.

Abstract
Colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) is a specific haematopoietic growth factor that stimulates the production of macrophages by both bone marrow macrophage precursors (GM-CFC) and certain more mature peripheral tissue macrophages. The relationship of CSF-1 utilization and cell production by macrophage precursors at various stages of differentiation was studied. Bone marrow GM-CFC had the highest proliferative capacity followed by blood monocytes and peritoneal exudate macrophages (PEM) as determined by their cell doubling time (DT) which was also dependent on the concentrations of exogenous CSF-1. PEM had the longest initial lag period before commencing cell proliferation. Exogenous CSF-1 was constantly utilized by the growing cells; depletion of available CSF-1 resulted in growth arrest and, subsequently, cell death. The production of macrophage progeny, per amount of CSF-1, correlated with parent macrophage maturity; for each 100 U of CSF-1 consumed, bone marrow precursor cells and blood monocytes were capable of producing 17.9 x 10(4) and 13.4 x 10(4) progeny, respectively, whereas PEM generated only 4.6 x 10(4) daughter cells. Thus, the removal and destruction of CSF-1 by more mature, less proliferative tissue macrophages may provide a possible mechanism by which CSF-1 levels are reduced and the production of early haemopoietic macrophage precursors controlled.

Abstract
The physiological mechanism of clearance of the mononuclear phagocyte growth factor, colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1), from the circulation of normal mice was investigated by following the fate of a trace amount of i.v. injected 125I-labeled CSF-1. Macrophages selectively cleared CSF-1 by CSF-1 receptor-mediated endocytosis and degraded the growth factor intracellularly. This manner of clearance provides a feedback control mechanism whereby the rate of macrophage production is determined by the number of mature macrophages.
