Derivation
|
This is an immortalized cell line derived from the brain of an apparently normal 10 day old mouse [PubMed: 8550814]. Cells were cloned in soft agar in the presence of CSF-1 and expanded on microcarrier beads. Beads were transferred to culture dishes and were subsequently passaged by scraping. The cell line is dependent on growth factor colony stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1). Conditioned medium is made from LADMAC cells ( ATCC CRL-2420 ) as a source of CSF-1. The cells exhibit phagocytic activity.

The cell line is dependent on growth factor colony stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1). Conditioned medium is made from LADMAC cells ( ATCC CRL-2420 ) as a source of CSF-1. The cells exhibit phagocytic activity. These cells constitutively expressed high levels of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigens and expression was upregulated by recombinant murine interferon-gamma. The cells may be used to characterize the role of brain macrophages. C3H/HeJ strain is defective in TLR4 (toll-like receptor 4)
