EL4 Cell Line murine

EL4 Cell Line murine has been used to induce tumor in mice and to assess the extravasation of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-induced Evans blue dye and E1- and E3-deleted Ad vectors carrying firefly luciferase reporter gene under cytomegalovirus promoter (AdLuc). It has also been used as a constituent of bone marrow-derived macrophage (BMDM)-polarizing media to polarize BMDM and assess its tumoricidal activity.

Tumourigenicity studies

Established from a lymphoma induced in a C57BL/6N mouse by 9,10-dimethyl-1,2-benzanthracene. The cells have been reported to produce low levels of type G (Gross) virus antigen histone-2b (H-2b), interleukin-4 (IL-4) and Thy-1.2 antigen. The cell line is resistant to cortisol and dexamethasone and is sensitive to polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs).
