CD1 Mouse Bone Marrow Macrophages (Frozen Cells)
Catalog No. CD-1030
Suggested Medium: Macrophage Medium /w Kit (500 ml)
Catalog No. M3368
Product Description
CD1 Mouse Bone Marrow Macrophages are isolated from the tibias and femurs of pathogen-free laboratory adult mice. Cells at passage 0 are cryo-preserved in vials. Each vial contains 3x106 cells and is delivered frozen. Cells are negative for bacteria, yeast, fungi, and mycoplasma and tested for expression of markers using antibody, CD11b by flow cytometry. Cells can be expanded on a multiwell culture plate ready for experiments under the cell culture conditions specified by Cell Biologics. Cells can be plated on culture plates for desired experiments under the cell culture conditions specified by Cell Biologics. Primary Bone Marrow Macrophages can not be cultured indefinitely and can not be passaged. Repeated freezing and thawing of cells is not recommended.
Laboratory Applications
CD1 Mouse Bone Marrow Macrophages can be used in standard biochemical procedures include PCR, Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, ROS, or cell derivatives for desired research applications.
Storage of Cell Biologics Products
Cell Biologics will ship frozen cells on dry ice. On receipt, immediately transfer frozen cells to liquid nitrogen until ready for experimental use. Live-cell shipment is also available on request. Primary cells can never be kept at -20 °C.

Warranty and Liability
Cell Biologics’ guarantee applies only to your purchase of Cell Biologics’ cells with Cell Biologics’ Media and Coating Solution for appropriate cell culture and cell testing following Cell Biologics’ online protocols within 35 days from the date of product delivery.
Primary Macrophage Culture Protocol
All cell culture procedures must be conducted in a bio-safety cabinet.
Any and all media, supplements, and reagents must be sterilized by filtration through a 0.2 µm filter.
Use aseptic technique to prevent microbial contamination.
Medium Review the information provided on the Cell Biologics website about appropriate culture media (e.g. serum and other supplements).
Use pre-warmed (37°C) cell culture media (30-50 ML, Catalog No. M3368) to seed cells and when changing media.
Coating of Cell Culture Plates or Dishes Coat sterile culture dishes or flasks with Gelatin Coating Solution (Catalog No. 6950, Cell Biologics) for 2 min, then aspirate the excess solution.
Cell Recovery from Cryovial
Thaw the cells quickly (<2 min) in a 37°C water bath until just prior to complete thawing.
Wipe the outside of the vial with 70% ethanol.
Use 1 ml Pipette Tip to resuspend cells and transfer cells to a 15 ml sterile tube.
Add 5 ml of pre-warmed Cell Biologics’ Cell Culture Medium (Catalog number M3368, Cell Biologics) gently to the side of the tube and slowly pipette up and down 2 to 3 times to resuspend the cells.
Centrifuge the cells at 200 x g at 4°C for 5 min.
Carefully remove the supernatant and resuspend in 7 mL pre-warmed Maintenance Medium (Catalog No. M3368, Cell Biologics).
Carefully pour cell suspension into the cell culture plate or dish.
Recommended Cell Seeding: 0.7-0.8 million cells are seeded per well of a 12-well plate or 1-1.5 million macroPlace a plate in a humidified, 5%-CO2 incubator at 37°C until experiments.
Change fresh cell culture medium every 24-48 hours. Cells should be checked daily under a microscope to verify appropriate cell morphology.
Proceed with experiment assays.
Note: Please send us the cell images (>90% confluence) if you have any question or problem with cultured cells.
