Description
Established from the mastocytoma tumor of a DBA/2 mouse treated with methylcholanthrene. P-815 cells phagocytose latex beads but not zymosan or BCG. They do not function in antibody dependent
cell mediated cytotoxicity. Growth of the cells is not inhibited by dextran sulfate, LPS or PPD. Tested and found negative for ectromelia virus (mousepox).
