2. FIGURE 1
Correlation (r = 0.677, P<.01, n = 85) between macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) levels in serum and in follicular fluid (FF) on the day of oocyte retrieval. The linear regression was M-CSF in FF = 10.2 × M-CSF in serum.

Immunocytochemical demonstration of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and its receptor (M-CSFR). (A) M-CSF in the cytoplasma and also its localization on cell membrane surface of human follicular granulosa cells (GCs). (B) Localization of c-fms gene product (M-CSFR) on the surface of GCs. (C) GCs without the primary antibody as negative control. (D) Localization of M-CSFR on the surface of monocytes, isolated from blood as positive control. Immunoalkaline phosphatase reaction. Magnification, ×600.

Effect of increasing culture time on macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) secretion by granulosa cells (mean M-CSF levels, 95% confidence interval). Results from three experiments (five patients each) performed in triplicate (P<.05). Number of cells, 2 × 104 per well.

5. FIGURE 4
In vitro reverse transcription (RT)–polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and its receptor (M-CSFR). The lanes show the following: Lane a, the separation of a molecular weight marker; lanes b–d, M-CSF amplicon in human granulosa cells (GCs), in human monocytes, and in human placenta as positive control; lanes e–g, M-CSFR amplicon in human GCs, in human monocytes, and in human placenta as positive control; lanes h–j, glyceraldehye-3 phosphotase dehydrogenase (GAPDH) amplicon in human GCs, human monocytes, and placenta; lane k, negative control omitting RT.
