Abstract
A fibroblast-derived differentiation inducing factor (F-DIF) purified from medium conditioned by a human fibroblast cell line (WI-26VA4) induced differentiation of human monocytic leukemia cell lines (U-937, THP-1) into cells with macrophage characteristics. F-DIF alone induced the differentiation of ML-1 cells only marginally, but it synergistically increased the differentiation when combined with TNF. Interferon-gamma, tumor necrosis factor, GM-CSF, interleukin-1 and interlukin-4 synergistically enhanced the differentiation of U-937 cells when combined with F-DIF.Entities:
