After being induced with L929 supernatant for 6 days and identified to be macrophages by flow cytometry, does the medium containing L929 supernatant still need to be used for subsequent experiments?
Junnian Zheng Answered Jun 6, 2023
L929 cell-conditioned media is commonly used to differentiate bone marrow-derived monocytes (BMDMs) into macrophages in vitro. The conditioned media from L929 cells contains colony-stimulating factors that promote the differentiation of monocytes into macrophages. The inducted have already undergone cell differentiation and therefore you don't need to add additional L929 cell-conditioned media in the following experiments.
After your explanation, I understand. Thank you very much。
