CD34+ cells were cultured with GM-CSF + TNFα alone or in presence of 10% RCC CM (CLB-CHA CM and Caki-1 CM), IL-6 (20 ng/mL), M-CSF (20 ng/mL), or IL-6 + M-CSF from day 6 to 12. Neutralizing antibodies (control antibodies, anti–[IL-6 + IL-6R], and anti–M-CSF) were added only or in combination at 10 μg/mL. At day 12, cells were tested for their capacity to phagocyte FITC-conjugated 0.5-μm latex beads for 4 hours at 37°C in complete medium. Ingestion of FITC-labeled particules was analyzed on a FACS can. Results are of one experiment representative of four.
