(a) LPS responsiveness is only present in CD11bHI macrophages as early as E13. Macrophage populations from E13 mouse lung, yolk sac, and liver were sorted, isolated, and stimulated with LPS. Only F4/80HI macrophages could be isolated from E13 lung and yolk sac. LPS did not increase cytokine expression or release from E13 F4/80HI macrophages (+/− s.e.m.; *P < 0.05, n = 3–7). (b) F4/80HI macrophages in E15 mouse brains have a partial response to LPS. The majority of macrophages in E15 brain were F4/80HI, and LPS treatment did not increase IL-1β release or mRNA expression (+/− s.e.m.; n = 6–7). Intracellular staining and FACS did demonstrate increased TNF expression in F4/80HI macrophages from E15 brain, but only minimal pro-IL-1β expression (representative data from three independent experiments shown).
