Abstract

The activation-associated markers, p47b and p71/73, have been recognized as minor proteins in peritoneal and bone marrow culture-derived macrophages activated for tumor cell killing. Proteins with identical characteristics of migration on 2-dimensional gels and comparable Cleveland peptide maps are described here in macrophage cell lines that could be activated for tumor cell killing (J774A.1, RAW 264, UNC-2). Macrophage cell lines that could not be activated (P388D1 and PU5-1.8) did not express the markers. The expression of these markers in activatable macrophage cell lines strengthens their association with the activation process and provides a bulk source of the proteins for purification studies.
