IL-10 inhibits FL + IL-7–stimulated proB cell proliferation. A total of 500 Lin−Sca-1+c-kit+ cells was seeded in complete IMDM in the presence of FL + IL-7. After 12 days incubation, 1 × 105 of the generated B220+ cells were replated in triplicates in complete IMDM in medium alone, FL + IL-7, or FL + IL-7 + IL-10, as indicated. Cells were incubated for 48 hours and pulsed with 1 μCi [3H]-TdR during the last 12 hours of incubation. Samples were harvested and counted in a beta-counter as described in the Materials and Methods. Results represent the mean cpm (SEM) from three independent experiments.
