The cells of monocyte-macrophage lineage in mice with the 2-month polyethylene implantation
1996
Abstract End-point-attached heparinized polyethylene (H-PE) was implanted for 2 months into the peritoneum of C57B1/6 mice. The proliferation of bone marrow cells (BMCs) from implanted and non-implanted mice was investigated in M-CSF supplemented medium, in the presence or absence of macrophage-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). The mAb HC 7.67.B, recognizing a surface determinant on immature monocytoid cells, inhibited the proliferation of BMCs from H-PE implanted mice without any influence on the proliferation of BMCs from non-implanted animals. The peritoneal macrophages from H-PE implanted mice demonstrated enhanced production of fibronectin (Fn) in comparison to the macrophages from non-implanted animals. Our results suggest changes in the differentiation of murine monocyte-macrophage lineage in the mice bearing H-PE implants for 2 months.
