C57BL/6J Macrophage Cell Line
A mouse macrophage cell line derived from C57 BL/6J bone marrow after immortalization with a retrovirus (J2) containing the myc and v-raf oncogenes.
C57BL/6J is the most widely used inbred strain labortory mice. Scientists use as a general purpose strain and background strain for the generation of congenics carrying both spontaneous and induced mutations. Although this strain is refractory to many tumors, it is a permissive background for maximal expression of most mutations.
