B6/129 Macrophage Cell Line

Macrophage cell line isolated from bone marrow in B6/129 mice after immortalization with a retrovirus (J2) containing the myc and v-raf oncogenes.

B6/129 mouse line is a cross between C57BL/6 females (B6) and 129P3 males (129P). Potential uses for these mice include hybrid vigor, as a background for deleterious mutations, to create or enhance expression of polygenic diseases, to determine the mode of inheritance, to provide physiological buffering (present a broader array of responses to various stresses) and as approximate controls for some genetically engineered strains.
