I searched a few papers but nowhere could find the answer. Asking out of curiosity. I went back to the first few papers that talked about RAW 264, RAW 309 cells etc. also I checked on the official webpage of Abelson's Lab from NCI, NIH. I couldn't find the answer.
When you try to establish a culture you are making different samples, so it is, probably, the first successful sample number, when it grows you passage it the .7 can be split passage number. However it is not 100% percent sure answer - you can ask Ralph Raschke himself.
Thanks a lot.
I have been asking this question to almost everyone I know, for so many days and I did not know that answering this question in such exquisite way, is possible! Thanks a lot!

Abstract Three cloned cell lines have been established from murine tumors induced with Abelson leukemia virus which express properties of macrophages. Two of the three original tumors in addition yielded lymphocyte cell lines, one typical of the Abelson virus disease and the other a thymic lymphoma. Two of the macrophage lines are tumorigenic when placed in syngeneic mice. All of the macrophage lines pinocytose neutral red, phagocytose zymosan and latex beads, mediate antibody-dependent killing…
Peter Ralph I can't believe you are THE Peter Ralph!! Thank you so much for replying!! I will most certainly go through this article. Made my day!
Guys, sorry for being so pragmatic, but it sounds like this is the paraphe of the first author: RA(schke) W(illiam)...
I think we should just return to Caesar what belongs to Caesar
