Human T lymphoblastoid cell line CEM-ON belongs to a helper/inducer subclass and secretes M-CSF into medium constitutively. We have isolated a full-length cDNA clone for this factor from a cDNA library of this cell line. The cDNA was 2.5 kb and coded for a 554 amino acid polypeptide precursor including signal sequence. The Northern blot analysis showed that the major transcript of M-CSF is about 4.2 kb. We have studied the expression of not only the wild type plasmid, but also the five C-terminal deletion mutants encoding N-terminal 154, 163, 170, 177, and 185 amino acid residues in monkey COS-1 cells. The results showed that at least C-terminal 377 amino acid residues of human M-CSF are not essential to manifest the in vitro biological activity on murine bone marrow cells.
