RAW 264.7 Mouse Monocyte Macrophage Leukemia Cell Line
Introduction
The RAW 264.7 mouse monocyte macrophage leukemia cell line was originally isolated from tumor tissues of male BALB/c mice induced by the Abelson murine leukemia virus (A-MuLV). This cell line is characterized by its ease of culture and passage, sensitivity to RNA interference (RNAi), and high DNA transfection efficiency, making it a widely used host for transfection studies and a model for murine norovirus (MNV) replication.
The cells are negative for the surface markers sIg⁻, Ia⁻, and Thy-1.2. It has been reported that the established cell line no longer secretes or contains detectable viral particles. Furthermore, the cell line has tested negative in XC plaque assays and for the presence of the ectromelia virus (mousepox).
RAW 264.7 cells are extensively utilized in research areas such as oxidative stress, inflammation, and antibacterial activity. In immunology, they serve as a critical model for investigating macrophage immune response mechanisms, including the production and function of cytokines. In inflammation-related studies, this cell line is used to simulate in vivo inflammatory responses and to screen for potential anti-inflammatory drugs.
All batches of this cell line undergo rigorous quality validation, including cell identity authentication, morphological evaluation, viability testing, and mycoplasma screening. This ensures high experimental reproducibility and data reliability.
