Part of the Business Division of the Health Protection Agency (ECACC, Salisbury, Wiltshire)
RPMI 1640 + 2mM Glutamine + 0.05mM 2-Mercaptoethanol (2ME) + 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). Maintain cultures between 2-9x100,000 cells/ml; 5% CO2; 37C Requires glycerol as cryoprotectant.
Derived from the peripheral blood of a 1 year old male with acute monocytic leukaemia. THP-1 cells have Fc and C3b receptors and lack surface and cytoplasmic immunoglobulins. These cells also stain positive for alpha-naphthyl butyrate esterase produce lysozymes and are phagocytic (both latex beads and sensitised erythrocytes). THP-1 cells can also restore the response of purified T lymphocytes to Con A, show increased CO2 production on phagocytosis and can be differentiated into macrophage-like cells using for example DMSO.
