Abstract
Studies were done in vitro showing that activated macrophages inhibited mouse EMT-6 mammary tumor target cells from undergoing mitosis. With the use of target cells synchronized in the mitosis phase of the cell cycle, this manifestation of macrophage-mediated cytostatic effects was preceded by the complete inhibition of target cell DNA synthesis as measured by incorporation of [3H]thymidine.
