Abstract
WE have found two distinct biological activities in cultures of peritoneal exudate cells rich in macrophages. One consists of an inhibitory effect on cell proliferation, described previously, caused by a low molecular weight product1; the other is a stimulatory effect brought about by a non-dialysable material. Both activities were found in the same culture fluid; and different kinds of cells exhibited different sensitivities to them. Our results offer a possible explanation for the discrepancies in the literature concerning the different effects of macrophages or their products on cells 1-7.
