A comparative review of cell culture systems for the study of microglial biology in Alzheimers disease
Journal of Neuroinflammation, 06/04/2012
Stansley B et al. – This review summarizes several of the most common microglial cell culture systems currently being employed in Alzheimer's research including primary microglia; BV2 and N9 retroviral immortalized microglia; human immortalized microglia (HMO6); and spontaneously immortalized rodent microglial lines (EOC lines and HAPI cells). Particularities of cell culture requirements and characteristics of microglial behavior, especially in response to applied inflammogen stimuli, are compared and discussed across these cell types.
