Abstract
Macrophage-related cell lines offer many advantages for the study of macrophage function (Table 1). These advantages range from convenience in obtaining large numbers of cells of relatively homogenous nature by growth in culture, to purity of the cell population ensuring that experimental results obtained are due only to macrophages. A variety of cell lines and variants exist which stably differ in degree of maturation, sensitivity to inducing agents, and extent of mature macrophage characteristics. Since the cell lines are growing rapidly, it is relatively easy to synchronize or select cells at different stages of the cell cycle for study of physiological functions throughout the cell division process.
