IFN-gamma KO (C57) Macrophage Cell Line

A knockout Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) macrophage cell line isolated from bone marrow in C57BL/6 mice after immortalization with a retrovirus (J2) containing the myc and v-raf oncogenes.

IFNγ, or type II interferon, is a cytokine that is critical for innate and adaptive immunity against viral, some bacterial and protozoal infections. IFNγ is an important activator of macrophages and inducer of Class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule expression C57BL/6 also known as C57 black 6, C57 or black 6, is a common inbred strain of laboratory mouse. They are the most widely used and best-selling mouse strain, due to the availability of congenic strains, easy breeding, and robustness.
