Comparison of a macrophage like cell line derived from THP-1 cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: There is currently no human macrophage cell line and in vitro experiments requiring these cells currently require mitogenic stimulation of a macrophage precursor cell line (for example THP-1 cells) or ex vivo maturation of circulating primary monocytes. We have derived a unique sub-clone of the THP-1 cell line capable of spontaneous and perpetual differentiation into alveolar macrophage-like cells. Here we used the Agilent G4851C (v3) array to look at the gene expression of the new cell line which can be compared it with THP-1 cells and PMA stimulate THP-1 cells (Accession number E-MTAB-4153). In addition the new human alveolar macrophage like cell line has been treated with unmodified lipid to look at lipid uptake by these cells and the effect on gene expression.
