All labeling was completely inhibited in the presence of a 100-fold excess of the appropriate unlabeled cytokine.

Abbreviation: nd, not determined because Scatchard analysis was not performed for rh IL-1α.

*

Sca-1 is identical to Ly6A/E.

Anti c-kit antibody (ACK2) inhibited binding of SCF to c-kit–positive cells. This effect could be partially reversed by acid treating the cells before performing SCF binding.

Mean grain counts ± standard deviations of labeled cells.
