How are N9 microglial cells maintained?

Is it possible for two human neuronal cell lines to have different gene sequence for the same protein?

I am looking at the ATP1A2 (Sodium/Potassium ATPase alpha subunit 2) in two human neuronal cell lines. Expression levels of this protein seems to be almost equal when detected by one antibody....

Vikas Singh

Hello Suraiya, N9 cells are maintained in DMEM/F12 with 1% pen-strep and 10% FBS. Although, it can also be maintained in DMEM medium with same antibiotic and FBS concentration.

Shenbagamoorthy Sundarraj

The murine microglial cell line N9 was cultured in DMEM medium supplemented with 2 mM glutamine, 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 lg/ml streptomycin. The cells were grown at 37oC in a saturatedly humidified incubator in 95% air5% CO2 and were passaged every 3 days.

Suraiya Saleem

Thankyou Vikas and Sundarraj.
