CSF1 and IL34 regulate macrophage homeostasis in adult mice. (A) Effect of aCSF1 and/or IL34 antagonist antibodies on tissue-resident macrophages. C57/BL6 mice were treated with aCSF1 and/or aIL34, or anti-ragweed (aRW) IgG2a intraperitoneally for 1 month. Formalin-fixed tissues (intestine, liver, kidney, skin, and bone marrow) were stained with F4/80 and stained area was plotted and percentage of total tissue area to quantitate tissue-resident macrophages. (B) Quantitation of tissue-resident macrophages in spleen and liver after 7, 14, and 28 days of aCSF1 and/or aIL34 treatment stained with F4/80. (C) Staining of tissue-resident brain microglia (stained with anti-Iba-1) or skin epidermal Langerhans cells (anti-Langerin). Immuno-reactive cells were quantitated by digital image analysis as described in Materials and Methods. Results are displayed as group means ± SEM (standard error of the mean), and are representative of at least two independent experiments. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
