abm | Immortalized Mouse Spleen Dendritic Cells (SRDC) | T0140

- CD205 ⁺ CD11b ^- immortalized dendritic cell line eliminates the need for in vitro differentiation and expansion of different dendritic cell precursors into splenic dendritic cells. Therefore, these readily cultured cells are ideal for immunological studies focused on the function and biology of dendritic cells.

Propagation:

The base medium for this cell line is Prigrow V medium available at abm (TM015). To make the completed growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum to final concentration of 5%, 2mM L-glutamine, 50 µM ?-Mercaptoethanol and Penicillin/Streptomycin Solution to final concentration of 1%.
Carbon dioxide (CO₂): 5%, Temperature: 37.0°C.
abm does not recommend to use heat-inactivated FBS for cell culture unless specified otherwise.

Quality Control:

1. Immunofluorescence microscopy analysis confirmed SRDC maturation- through expression of DC-LAMP and MHC-II expression.

2. ELISA assays to determine interleukin and gamma interferon production.

3. To confirm dendritic cell transformation, SV40 large T antigen expression was compared between SRDCs and Cos-7-positive control cells and BHK-21-negative control cells.

4. PCR analysis confirmed that the SV40 oncogene was not integrated into SRDC cellular DNA.

5. Antigen uptake ability tested via incubation with antitoxoplasma serum.
