These are bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs), which are considered a naïve (M0) population. They are an excellent and robust starting point for your in vitro polarization assays, allowing you to differentiate them into M1 (pro-inflammatory) or M2 (anti-inflammatory) phenotypes using your specific protocols.
This product contains 6 x 10^6 (6 million) viable primary macrophages in one cryovial. They are isolated from the bone marrow of a healthy, pathogen-free laboratory cynomolgus monkey.
The cells are shipped frozen on dry ice. To ensure maximum viability, you must immediately transfer the cryovial to a liquid nitrogen tank (at -150°C to -190°C) for long-term storage. Do not store at -80°C. Thaw quickly in a 37°C bath only when you are ready to use them.
