Description
Derived from the peripheral blood of a 1 year old male with acute monocytic leukaemia. THP-1 cells have Fc and C3b receptors and lack surface and cytoplasmic immunoglobulins. These cells also stain positive for alpha-napthhyl butyrate esterase, produce lysozymes and are phagocytic (both latex beads and sensitised erythrocytes). THP-1 cells can also restore the response of purified T lymphocytes to Concanavlin A, show increased CO2 production on phagocytoscell line cell line is and can be differentiated into macrophage-like cells using for example DMSO.
