Mycoplasma Testing

The cell line has been screened using the luciferase based mycoplasma detection kit to confirm the absence of mycoplasma species.

Sterility Testing

Sterility testing was performed in accordance with USP and EP regulations. All of our sterility testing is performed in an isolator or clean room environments. The cell line has been screened using the membrane filtration testing methods to confirm the absence of aerobic, anaerobic and fungi microorganisms.

Genetic Stability Testing

Cell genetic stability study was perfomed under ICH guidelines. We provide guidance on the appropriate testing program upon your requirements.

Q&As

Are the mouse microglia N9 cells genetically engineered or modified in any way?

No, the mouse microglia N9 cells are not genetically engineered or modified. They are a stable cell line derived from mouse brain tissue and retain the characteristics of primary microglial cells.

How do I assess the activation state of cells in my experiments?

The activation state of N9 cells can be assessed using several methods. Common techniques include measuring the expression of activation markers such as CD11b, Iba1, and MHC class II using flow cytometry or immunocytochemistry. Additionally, you can quantify the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 using ELISA or qPCR. Monitoring changes in cell morphology and phagocytic activity can also provide insights into their activation state.

Can I use the mouse microglia N9 cells for drug screening assays in my research project?

Yes, the mouse microglia N9 cells are suitable for drug screening assays in research projects. These cells offer a reliable and reproducible model for testing the effects of various compounds on microglial cell function.
