Isolation:  Isolation date: August 3, 1983
Receptors: Fc
Comments: NR8383 (normal rat, August 3, 1983) was established from normal rat alveolar macrophage cells obtained by lung lavage.
The cells were cultured in the presence of gerbil lung cell conditioned medium for approximately 8 to 9 months.
Subsequently the requirement for exogenous growth factors was lost.
NR8383 cells were cloned and subcloned from single cells by limiting dilution, and then subcloned from soft agar three times.
The cells exhibit characteristics of macrophage cells:
Phagocytosis of zymosan and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, nonspecific esterase activity, Fc receptors, oxidative burst,IL-1, TNF beta and IL-6 secretion, and replicative response to exogenous growth factors.
The cells respond to appropriate microbial, particulate or soluble stimuli with phagocytosis and killing.
NR8383 cells respond to bleomycin by secreting latent transforming growth factor (TGF beta).
Stimulation with bleomycin also increases TGF beta mRNA expression.
These cells are sensitive to endotoxin.
LPS levels of 1 to 10 ng/ml inhibit replication by 50%.
LPS inhibition is nontoxic and reversible even after levels up to 0.001 mg/ml for extended periods.
The NR8383 cell line provides a homogenous source of highly responsive alveolar macarophages which can be used in vitro to study macrophage related activities.
Propagation:  ATCC complete growth medium: Ham's F12K medium with 2 mM L-glutamine adjusted to contain 1.5 g/L sodium bicarbonate, 85%; heat inactivated fetal bovine serum, 15%
Temperature: 37.0°C
Subculturing:  Protocol: Cultures can be maintained by transferring floating cells to additional flasks. Adherent cells may be harvested by scraping. Upon reseeding, about one half of the cells will re-attach. Cultures are most successful when set up at a floating cell concentration of 1 to 4 X 10 exp5 viable cells/ml.
Medium Renewal: Two to three times weekly
Preservation:  Freeze medium: Complete growth medium, 95%; DMSO, 5%
Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor phase
Related Products: Recommended medium (without the additional supplements or serum described under ATCC Medium):ATCC 30-2004
purified RNA:ATCC CRL-2192R
