Characteristics of CSF-1- and IL-34-derived X. laevis peritoneal macrophages

Effector molecules expressed Increased effector functions Proposed function References
CSF-1-derived iNOSa Phagocytosis, NO production Microbicidal activity Antibacterial Grayfer and Robert (2014, 2015)
IL-34-derived Arginase-l NADPH oxidase Type I IFNb ROS production Antiviral activity Antiviral Grayfer and Robert (2014, 2015)
a

Significantly higher iNOS expression in CSF-1-derived than IL-34-derived adult peritoneal macrophages

b

Significantly higher Type I IFN gene expression response in tadpole but not adult IL-34- derived peritoneal macrophages compared to respective CSP-derived peritoneal macrophages
