Fetal liver cell lines cultured under the indicated conditions were harvested, incubated with phycoerythrin or fluorescein isothiocyanate–conjugated antibodies to the indicated antigens, and subjected to FACS analysis. For GM-CSF induction, cells continuously growing in SCF and IL-3 were washed, resuspended in GM-CSF alone, and cultured for an additional 4 days. ATRA induction (10 μM) was for 5 days.
