BV-2 Cells Derivation and biomarker
BV-2 is a type of microglial cell derived from C57/BL6 murine. The BV2 cells are immortalized by v-raf/v-myc carrying J2 retrovirus. BV2 express nuclear v-myc and the cytoplasmic v-raf oncogene products as well as the env gp70 antigen at the surface level. BV2 microglia cell line retains microglia morphological and functional characteristics. In accordance with v-raf/v-myc expressed characters, the metabolic and proliferation rate of in vitro BV-2 greatly exceeds that of other microglia.
Why Choose BV-2 from AcceGen?
AcceGen BV-2 cells are positive for MAC1 and MAC2 antigens, negative for MAC3, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and galactocerebroside (GC).

For research use only
BV-2 cells are a murine microglial cell line commonly used as a model for studying microglial function and neuroinflammation. They offer a consistent and reproducible system for investigating the immune responses of microglia in the central nervous system.
Medium: Use high-glucose DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), L-glutamine, and antibiotics (penicillin-streptomycin).
Incubation: Maintain cells at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO₂.
Medium Renewal: Change the medium every 2-3 days to ensure optimal nutrient availability and waste removal.
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS): Often used to activate microglial cells and induce an inflammatory response.
Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ): Enhances the activation and pro-inflammatory response of microglia.
Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α): Used to study inflammatory signaling pathways.
