Product Overview

Description

Microglia are the resident macrophages of the brain and spinal cord. Small cells that are spontaneously immortal Murine microglia (SIM-A9) retain the ability to respond to exogenous inflammatory stimuli (LPS and β-amyloid), as well as expressing microglia-specific markers CD68 and Iba1.

Quality Control

1) Perform functional tests, such as nitrate determination, to evaluate the production of nitric oxide; 2) ELISA method to measure TNFa secretion after inflammation stimulation; 3) Western blot and immunocytochemistry to confirm the specific markers of microglia after stimulation Such as the expression of CD68 and Iba1 and the expression of M1/M2 phenotype-related proteins (COX-2/iNOS and Arg-1); 4) A tail 1-42 listening or E. The uptake of E. coli-derived biological particles is used to determine the phagocytic activity of SIM-A9 cells.
