A comprehensive analysis of e-CAS cell line reveals they are mouse macrophages

Abstract The 3Rs principles (Replacement, Reduction and Refinement) are focused on finding alternatives to the use of animals in research. In this regard, cell lines are popular and useful tools for the replacement of primary cells in in vitro studies. However, around 15–30% of cell lines used in re...
