The major recent advance in our knowledge of the haemopoietic system has been the purification and characterization of a family of haemopoietic growth factors, and their availability in recombinant form. In the bone marrow the sequences of differentiation and proliferation leading to the production of mature cells that these factors regulate may be determined by the relative availability of the factors in microenvironmental domains. The observation that growth factor-producing cells and haemopoietic progenitor cells are not evenly distributed in the bone marrow leads us to expect that the overall effect of growth factors (and other regulatory molecules) on the production and function of macrophages and osteoclasts may differ when in vivo or in vitro assays are used as end-points and, in the latter case, when whole marrow or purified cell populations are tested. The availability of an in vitro assay in which osteoclast-like cells are generated will allow these concepts to be tested.
