Mouse bone marrow cells in liquid culture with interleukin 3 generate nonadherent granulocytes, mast cells, and macrophages. The addition of 13-cis retinoic acid (13cRA) (10(-8)-10(-6) M) enhanced proliferation of the nonadherent cells, and concentrations greater than 5 x 10(-7) M stimulated a sixfold increase in adherent macrophages. Four-color flow cytometry was used to identify the lineages present using the following antibodies: MAC1 (granulocytes and macrophages), F4/80 (macrophages), B54.2 (mast cells), and H12 (anti-Thy1.2 to identify myeloid precursors). This analysis demonstrated a twofold increase in MAC1+ F4/80+ cells, which were sorted and identified morphologically as macrophages. 13cRA also increased by 60%-95% the numbers of colony-forming cells responsive to interleukin 3 (IL-3) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) but did not significantly change the colony-forming cells responsive to granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). These data suggest that 13cRA increases the production of macrophages by modulating the commitment of IL-3-expanded progenitor cells to the macrophage lineage.

A nonlethal conditioning regimen involving administration of mAb in vivo, low-dose WBI and 700 rads of thymic irradiation, permits engraftment of T cell-depleted allogeneic BM. Engraftment of class I + II disparate allogeneic BM after conditioning with this regimen required depletion of both L3T4 and Lyt2 host T cell subsets in vivo. Treatment with a combination of specific mAbs to each subset (GK1.5 plus 2.43) was more effective than treatment with an anti-Thy1 mAb (30-H12). The low incidence of engraftment after 30-H12 treatment is probably due to reduced efficiency of 30-H12 in depletion of host alloreactive cell populations rather than an effect of this mAb on a particular population of donor cells that are important for engraftment.
