Conditions have been described which allow an in vitro indefinite multiplication of differentiated murine macrophages (Lombard et al: Biol Cell 53, 219, 1985). R. and MAY‐1 ceil lines, which were obtained, respectively, from mouse (Balb/c) spleen and resident peritoneal macrophages, have been further characterized. They present at their surface, besides the Mac‐1 antigen and Fc‐receptor, a mannose receptor which was characterized for its binding properties. This receptor Is responsive for a specific phagocytosis of mannosylated particles, i.e., mannosylated latex beads or oil droplets containing mannosylated bovine serum albumin. Moreover, R and MAY‐1 ceils present an ectoenzyme profile (NAD + glycohydrolase and nucleotide pyrophosphatase) similar to those of the corresponding resident macrophages.
