Depletion of CD11bHI/Ly6C+ macrophages reduces IL-1β production in E15 fetal liver. Pregnant mice were injected with nonimmune IgG or anti-GR-1 antibody. At E15, macrophages were isolated from fetal liver (a,b) and fetal lung (c,d) Anti-Gr-1 injection reduced the percentage of CD11bHI/Ly6C+ macrophages in the E15 fetal liver (a) with a corresponding reduction in IL-1β and IL-6 release following treatment of the total fetal liver cell suspension with LPS (*P < 0.05, n = 3; **P < 0.01, n = 4, ***P < 0.001, n = 4). Anti-Gr-1 injections did not reduce CD11bHI/Ly6C+ macrophages from fetal lungs or reduce IL-1β or IL-6 production following LPS treatment.
