Immortalized MS<sup>-/-</sup> Mouse Alveolar Macrophage Cells (ZK1)

Mfr.No.	T0676
Description	Alveolar macrophages were isolated from the brochoalveolar lavage fluid of MARCO-/- SR-AI/II-/- (MS-/- ) mice and were immortalized with the J2 retrovirus to establish the Immortalized?MS-/- Mouse Alveolar Macrophage Cells (ZK1). ZK1 cells exhibit the macrophage morphology, functional activity, and the ability to bind to and ingest particles are reduced due to the deficiency in MARCO and SR-AI/II scavenger receptors.?It is a valuable tool to study the functions of MARCO and SR-AI/II scavenger receptors and particle toxicity. abm also have available the ZK2 (T0677) and ZK6 (T0678)clones established from limiting dilution. PCR genotyping was used to determine the deficiency of MARCO and SR-AI/II.
Cell Type	Immortalized Cells
Biosafety Level	2

Disclaimer	1. All test parameters provided in the CoA are conducted using abm's standardized culture system and The stated values may vary under the end-user's culture conditions. Please verify that the product is suitable for your studies by referencing published papers or ordering RNA (0.5 ?g, Cat.# C207, $450.00) or cell lysate (100 ?g, Cat.# C206, $600.00) to perform preliminary experiments, or alternatively use our Gene Expression Assay Service (Cat# C138). All sales are final. 2. We recommend live cell shipments for ease of cell transfer and this option can be requested at the time of order placement. Please note that the end-user will need to evaluate the feasibility of live cell shipment by taking into account the final destination's temperature variation and its geographical location. 3. All of abm's cell biology products are for research use ONLY and NOT for therapeutic/diagnostic applications. abm is not liable for any repercussions arising from the use of its cell biology product(s) in therapeutic/diagnostic or any other non-RUO application(s). 4. abm makes no warranties or representations as to the accuracy of the information on this site. Citations from literature are provided for informational purposes only. abm does not warrant that such information has been shown to be accurate. 5. abm warrants that cell lines shall be viable upon initiation of culture for a period of thirty (30) days after shipment and that they shall meet the specifications on the applicable abm Material Product Information sheet, certificate of analysis, and/or catalog description. Such thirty (30) day period is referred to herein as the "Warranty Period".
Donor History	MARCO??? SR-AI/II??? (MS??? )
Expression Region	F4/80 and CD11b

Notes	1. Visually examine the packaging containers for signs of leakage or breakage. 2. Immediately transfer frozen cells from dry ice packaging to a temperature below -130?, preferably in liquid nitrogen vapor phase storage, until ready for use.To ensure the highest level of viability, thaw the vial and initiate culture as soon as possible upon receipt. If continued storage is desired, the vial should only be stored below -130? or in liquid nitrogen vapor phase. Do not store at -70?, as it will result in loss of viability.
Organism	Mouse (M. musculus)
Population Doubling	Doubling time of 14 hours
Species	Mouse (M. musculus)
Propagation	Use of PriCoatTMT25 Flasks (G299) or Applied Cell Extracellular Matrix (G422) is required for cell adhesion to the culture vessels. Grow cells inECM-coated culture vessels unless otherwise specified in the Propagation Requirements below.The base medium for this cell line is Prigrow II medium available at abm (TM002). To make the completed growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum (TM999)* to final concentration of 10% and Penicillin/Streptomycin Solution (G255) to a final concentration of 1%. Carbon dioxide (CO2): 5%, Temperature: 37.0
Cryopreservation	Cryopreservation Medium (TM024), or complete growth media with 10% DMSO.
Quality Control	1) PCR genotyping used to determine the deficiency of MARCO and SR-AI/II; 2) Modified Wright staining used to identify macrophage morphology.

Applications Range	Research Use Only.

Shipping	Ship with dry ice.
Product Format	Frozen
Product Use	This product is intended for laboratory research use only. It is not intended for any animal or human therapeutic use, any human or animal consumption, or any diagnostic use.
Storage	Vapor phase of liquid nitrogen, or below -130?.

Thawing Protocol	1. Thaw cells quickly in a 37? water bath while agitating gently (maximum 2 minutes). The vial cap should be kept above the water level to minimize the risk of contamination. 2. Decontaminate the vial by spraying and wiping the exterior of the vial with 70% ethanol. From this point onwards, all operations should be strictly carried out inside a biological safety cabinet using aseptic conditions. 3. Transfer the cell suspension into a 15ml sterile conical tube containing 5ml of pre-warmed, complete growth media. Centrifuge cells at 125xg for 5-7 minutes. 4. Aspirate the supernatant without disturbing the cell pellet. Re-suspend the cell pellet in the recommended pre-warmed, complete growth media and dispense into a T25 culture flask. 5. Incubate the cells at the recommended conditions.
Subculture Protocol	1. Simply add fresh complete media directly to the culture. Do not allow cell density to exceed 1x10? cells/ml. 2. Alternatively, replace complete growth media by centrifugation and re-suspend the cell pellet in fresh complete media, and add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels, as desired. 3. Incubate the cells at the recommended conditions.
