The J744.2 cell line presents antigen in an I region restricted manner

We report here the ability of a murine macrophage-like cell line, J774.2, to present antigen to primed T cells in a genetically restricted manner. J774.2 is a subclone derived from the reticulum cell sarcoma cell line, J774. Like mature macrophages, J774.2 possesses Fc receptors for all immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclasses; it is capable of performing Fc-mediated phagocytosis, and it secretes both lysozyme and plasminogen activator.
