Abstract

A method is described for the analysis of [3H]‐thymidine incorporation in microtitre cultures of bone marrow‐derived mouse macrophage responding to macrophage colony‐stimulating factor (CSF‐1). [3H]‐thymidine incorporation depends on cell density, culture medium, and the concentration of CSF‐1 and serum, but is independent of Ca2+. Bone marrow‐derived macrophages are strongly adherent, but adherence can be dissociated from [3H]‐thymidine incorporation.
