Microglia Marker Related Research Reagents
Microglia are resident macrophages in the central nervous system (CNS) and play an immune defense role. They exist in a static state in healthy CNS tissues, actively investigate the surrounding areas after being injured or infected, and can be quickly activated in response to environmental changes.
Once a threat is detected, the microglia will undergo morphological changes. Activated microglia are divided into two states, M1 and M2, based on their morphology. M1 microglia are the cells that initially respond to injury and cause proinflammatory responses. Cytokines, such as IFN-γ and TNF-α, as well as bacteria and cell debris, will polarize microglia to the M1 phenotype. M2 microglia are "alternatively" activated microglia, also recognized as anti-inflammatory microglia, that can promote the regression of neuroinflammation and stimulate tissue repair.
