Abstract excerpt
A mutant cell line (J7.DEF.3) derived from murine macrophage-like J774.1 cells, was isolated on the basis of defective specific 125I-labeled LPS-binding in the presence of serum. Although J7.DEF.3 cells still respond to LPS in inducing TNF-alpha release and nitric oxide (NO) formation, these cells nevertheless showed significantly decreased responsiveness to LPS relative to the J774.1 parent. Under serum-free...
