C57BL/6 Mouse Bone Marrow Macrophages

Dry Ice

Mouse Bone Marrow Macrophages are derived from the tibias and femurs of pathogen-free laboratory adult mice. Mouse Bone Marrow Macrophages are grown in 100 mm treated tissue culture dish and incubated in AcceGen Biotech’s Culture Medium for 7-10 days. Cultures are then expanded. Prior to shipping, cells are detached from flasks and immediately cryo-preserved in vials. Each vial contains at least 6x10^6 cells and is delivered frozen.
Mouse Bone Marrow Macrophages are negative for bacteria, yeast, fungi, and mycoplasma. Cells can be expanded on a multiwell culture plate ready for experiments under the cell culture conditions specified by AcceGen Biotech. Repeated freezing and thawing of cells is not recommended.
Mouse Bone Marrow Macrophages are tested for expression of markers using antibodies, CD11b by flow cytometry.
Standard biochemical procedures performed with cell cultures include RT-PCR, Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescent staining, flow cytometry or generating cell derivatives for desired research applications.
