Organism Mus musculus, mouse
Cell Type microglia
Product Format frozen
Morphology macrophage
Culture Properties adherent
Biosafety Level 1
Age 10 days juvenile
Gender female
Strain C3H/HeJ
Applications
C3H/HeJ strain is defective in TLR4 (toll-like receptor 4)
Conditioned medium is made from LADMAC cells (ATCC CRL-2420 ) as a source of CSF-1. The cells exhibit phagocytic activity.
The cells may be used to characterize the role of brain macrophages.
This is an immortalized cell line derived from the brain of an apparently normal 10 day old mouse [PubMed: 8550814].
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.

Comments
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. 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)
Complete Growth Medium Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium with 4 mM L-glutamine adjusted to contain 1.5 g/L sodium bicarbonate and 4.5 g/L glucose, 70%; fetal bovine serum, 10%; LADMAC Conditioned Media (produced from the LADMAC cell line (CRL-2420), 20%
Subculturing

Name of Depositor WS Walker
Passage History
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.
