The NR8383 cell line provides a homogenous source of highly responsive alveolar macarophages which can be used in vitro to study macrophage related activities.
This cell line is a suitable transfection host. This line has a mutation in codon 12 of the ras proto-oncogene, and can be used as a positive control for PCR assays of mutation in this codon.
Electron photomicrographs demonstrate cytoplasmic distribution of Weibel-Palade bodies and tissue-specific organelles, characteristics of differentiated endothelial cell functions such as angiogenesis, homeostasis/thrombosis, blood pressure and inflammati
