Description
Rat Microglia (RMcg) are derived from the brain of normal postnatal day 1 rats by standardized methods. When revived and plated and cultured under recommended conditions, RMcg form adherent culture.
Microglia, originated from the hematopoietic stem cells in bone marrow, are the resident macrophages in the central nervous system (CNS) which is separated from the rest of the body due to the presence of blood-brain barrier. Microglia actively survey the surrounding area and respond by scavenging damaged neural cells, plaques, and infectious agents. Due to their functions in immune response and maintaining homeostasis in the CNS, microglia have been implicated in neurodevelopment, CNS plasticity and repair, neuroinflammation, aging and neurodegeneration, neuropathic pain, and infections.
Characterization: RMcg stain positive for F4/80 and CD11b/c, and uptake DiI-Ac-LDL
(Click to Enlarge) Rat Microglia Cells (RMcg) cultured 3 days (Top) and stained (Bottom) for CD11b/c (green) F4/80 (red), DAPI (blue) (L) and DiI-Ac-LDL (red) uptake (R).
