This cell line was established by P.A. Campbell and E.P. Canono in 1991. Percoll gradient purified, proteose peptone elicited peritoneal macrophage cells from C57BL/6N mice were fused with drug selected P388D1 mouse macrophage tumor cells. The cells produce tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) upon direct beryllium stimulation and serve as an in vitro model for chronic beryllium disease in humans. Since intracellular Listeria escape into the cytoplasm where they replicate, the cell line is a useful tool in the study of the permissive intracellular growth cycle of Listeria. These cells may be used in assays for the phagocytosis and killing of microorganisms, in assays for the production of cytokines by mouse macrophages, and for assays for the effect of environmental toxins on mouse macrophages. |

This cell line was established by P.A. Campbell and E.P. Canono in 1991. Percoll gradient purified, proteose peptone elicited peritoneal macrophage cells from C57BL/6N mice were fused with drug selected P388D1 mouse macrophage tumor cells. H36.12j is a model for the permissive intracellular growth of Listeria monocytogenes within mouse macrophages. The cells phagocytose Listeria via receptors for internalin A (InlA), a Listeria surface polypeptide. The cells produce tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) upon direct beryllium stimulation and serve as an in vitro model for chronic beryllium disease in humans. Since intracellular Listeria escape into the cytoplasm where they replicate, the cell line is a useful tool in the study of the permissive intracellular growth cycle of Listeria. The H36.12j cells have been found to express biologically active surface IL-10 that regulates macrophage bacterial activity. These cells may be used in assays for the phagocytosis and killing of microorganisms, in assays for the production of cytokines by mouse macrophages, and for assays for the effect of environmental toxins on mouse macrophages. |
