Culture method:
in vitro adhesion, colonies in soft agar, in vivo (see Appendix 1).
In vitro culture conditions:
Medium – RPMI-1640 fetal bovine serum 10%. 2-mercaptoethanol 0.05 mM. passaging procedure - cell detachment using trypsin 0.25 %: Versene 0.02 % (1:3), split ratio 1:3 -1:5 cryopreservation – growth medium 65%, 5% DMSO, 30% fetal bovine serum (see Appendix 1).

History:
by D.J. Giard
Collections:
A.P. Avtsyn Research Institute of Human Morphology, Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution "B.V. Petrovsky Russian Scientific Center of Surgery", ATCC.
Patent, certificate:
no
Note:
The cells are phagocytic (for both latex beads and sensitized erythrocytes) and lack surface and cytoplasmic immunoglobulin. Monocytic differentiation can be induced with the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA).
Intended use:
these samples are intended for laboratory research only.
