T
he response of marrow stromal cells transformed with wild-type simian virus 40 to recombinant growth factors was examined. When transformed stromal cells were plated in semisolid medium without the addition of growth factors, only 0.4% of cells formed colonies while with the addition of recombinant factors such as interleukin 1 (IL-1) or tumor necrosis factor (TNF), up to 10% of the cells formed colonies. Colonies were individually plucked and cell lines were developed that could be analyzed for expression of growth factors. The data show that unstimulated marrow stromal cells lines produced no detectable colony-stimulating activity. However, cell lines derived from "autonomously growing colonies" and from colonies grown with T cell-conditioned medium, with IL-1 alpha or beta, or with TNF alpha produced colony-stimulating activity and transcripts for granulocyte/macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (CSF), granulocyte-CSF, and IL-1 beta. A novel feature of the cell lines derived from colonies was that the production of growth factors was constitutive and persisted in excess of 4 m.

Having trouble reading a PDF?
PDFs are designed to be printed out and read, but if you prefer to read them online, you may find it easier if you increase the view size to 125%.
Having trouble saving a PDF?
Many versions of the free Acrobat Reader do not
allow Save. You must instead save the PDF from the JCI Online page you downloaded it from. PC users:
Right-click on the Download link and choose the option that says something like "Save Link As...".
Mac users should hold the mouse button down on the link to get these same options.
Having trouble printing a PDF?
- Try printing one page at a time or to a newer printer.
- Try saving the file to disk before printing rather than opening it "on the fly." This requires that you
configure your browser to "Save" rather than "Launch Application" for the file type "application/pdf", and can
usually be done in the "Helper Applications" options.
- Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe's Acrobat Reader.
