THP-1 (dòng tế bào monocytic)

THP-1 cell line-dòng tế bào monocytic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

THP-1 is a human monocytic cell line derived from an acute monocytic leukemia patient. It is used to test leukemia cell lines in immunocytochemical analysis of protein-protein interaction, and immunohistochemistry.

Cell Characteristics Growth Information[edit]

Note that although THP-1 cells are of the same lineage, mutations can cause differences as the progeny proliferates.

Characteristics[edit]

These cells show a large, round, single-cell morphology.

They are derived from the peripheral blood of a 1 year old human male with acute monocytic leukemia. Some of their characteristics are:

• They have Fc receptor and C3b receptors and lack surface and cytoplasmic immunoglobulins.
• They produce IL-1.
• They stain positive for alpha-naphthyl butyrate esterase, produce lysozymes and are phagocytic (both for latex beads and sensitized erythrocytes).
• They can restore the response of purified T lymphocytes to Con A.
• They show increased CO₂ production on phagocytosis and can be differentiated into macrophage-like cells using for example phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate(commonly known as PMA or TPA).
• The HLA type for THP-1 using molecular-based typing methods is HLA-A*02; B*15; C*03; DRB1*01, DRB1*15; DRB5*01/02;

DQB1*05, DQB1*06.

Growth Information[edit]

This cell line can provide continuous culture, grown in suspension; RPMI 1640 + 10% FBS + 2mM L-Glutamine. The average doubling time is 19 to 50 hours. You may also add 1 mM sodium pyruvate, penicillin (100 units/ml) and streptomycin (100 μg/ml) to inhibit bacterial contamination. Maintain cultures between 2-9x10⁵ cells/ml. 37C, 5% CO₂. Cells are non-adhesive.

Hazard: Cell line of human origin. There is no evidence for the presence of infectious viruses or toxic products. However, it is recommended that cultures are handled under Biosafety Level 2 containment.
