Hello everyone,
Does anyone have any information on the antigen
presenting capacity of u937 cells? I am trying
to set this cell line up as a model for macrophage
function and there ability to present antigens to
tissue matched T cells is very important to the
success of the assay. Any other information about
the cell line would also be very interesting,
including things such as their phagocytic ability
and oxidative burst activity following infection
with bacteria.
Thanks
