I am currently working on finding a mouse monocyte cell line to do continuous work on. I would like to differentiate them into macrophages eventually, but is it possible to buy a monocyte line and be able to keep a continual source of them without them differentiating? Or will they differentiate still without additional growth factors?

If the answer to my question is that they will differentiate no matter what, what is the point in buying a cell line?

Thank you for your help!
