Derivation This is an immortalized cell line derived from the brain of an apparently normal 10 day old mouse. RefWalker WS, et al. Mouse microglial cell lines differing in constitutive and interferon-gamma-inducible antigen-presenting activities for naive and memory CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. J. Neuroimmunol. 63: 163-174, 1995. 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. 
Clinical Data female
Antigen Expression CD11b/CD18 (Mac-1) +, Mac-2 +, Mac-3 +, CD80 (B7-1) +, CD45 +, Ly-6C +, MHC Class I +, MHC Class II +, CD115 (colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R)) +, FcR +, F4/80 +/-, CD86 (B7.2) -
Receptor Expression colony stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1R, CD115)
Comments

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.

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.
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

Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:3 is recommended Medium Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days
Cryopreservation culture medium 95%; DMSO, 5%
Culture Conditions Temperature: 37°C
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.
