| Derivation | RAW 264.7 gamma NO(-) was derived from the RAW 264.7 (see ATCC TIB-71) mouse monocyte/macrophage cell line ordinally obtained in 1978 from Dr. Peter Ralph. The cells were not intentionally cloned but were serendipitously obtained during routine culture. |

| Antigen Expression | H-2d |
| Receptor Expression | complement (C3), expressed |
| Genes Expressed | lysozyme |
| Cellular Products | lysozyme |
| Comments |
Unlike the parental line, RAW 264.7 gamma NO(-) does not produce nitric oxide upon treatment with interferon gamma alone, but requires LPS for full activation (the iNOS promoter linked to a luciferase reporter gene is also unresponsive to IFN- alone). This property makes its behavior more like that of normal macrophages from some commonly used strains of mice. |
| Complete Growth Medium | The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated RPMI-1640 Medium, ATCC 30-2001. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum (ATCC 30-2020) to a final concentration of 10%. |

| Subculturing | Cells can be grown as a monolayer or in spinner cultures. Routine passage cells should be grown on bacterial grade culture dishes. Subcultures are prepared by scraping cells from floor of dishes every two days and diluting to 1 x 106 cells/20 mL (3 x 105 cells/20 mL for weekend passage). Cells grown in spinner flasks are inoculated at a density of 1 x 105 cells/mL. Spinner culture cell densities should not be allowed to rise above 6 x 105 cells/mL. Medium Renewal: 2 to 3 times per week |
| Cryopreservation | Freeze medium: Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor phase |
| Culture Conditions | Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5% Temperature: 37°C |
