The op/op mouse, in which the M-CSF gene is mutated, has greatly reduced numbers of macrophages and osteoclasts. We assessed the ability of M-CSF to induce osteoclast and macrophage formation in op/op hemopoietic cells in vitro. Osteoclast production was undetectable

We show here that HIV-infected monocyte-macrophages stimulated by macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) undergo massive syncytia formation and die. The M-CSF-stimulated HIV-infected monocyte-macrophages (M/M) destroy themselves by blebbing out particles (resembling apoptotic bodies) which may contain condensed and marginated chromatin. The

A 4-kilobase and a 2-kilobase cDNA clone encoding a murine macrophage colony-stimulating factor have been isolated. Except for 2 amino acid residue differences, these two clones encode the same 520 amino acid residue protein, which is preceded by a 32-amino
