Microglia, one of the glial cell types in the central nervous system, CNS. Microglia is an important integral component of the neuro-glial cell network and plays an important role in brain immune surveillance.
Mouse Microglia cells are isolated from postnatal day 2 C57BL/6 mouse brain and are cryopreserved at P0 and delivered frozen.
Each vial contains 1 million cells in 1 ml volume.
Mouse Microglia cells are characterized by immunofluorescence with antibody to F4/80 and/or CD11b.
Mouse Microglia cells are negative for mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast, and fungi.
Mouse Microglia cells are guaranteed to further culture under the specific conditions.
Mouse Microglia cells are not recommended for expanding or long-term cultures since the cells do not proliferate in regular culture.
Recommended Medium
It is recommended to use Microglia Medium (MM, Cat. No. SC1901) for culturing Mouse Microglia in vitro.
Product Use
Mouse Microglia are for research use only.
They are not approved for human or animal use, or for application in in vitro diagnostic procedures.
Storage
Upon receiving, directly and immediately transfer the cells from dry ice to liquid nitrogen and keep the cells in liquid nitrogen until they are needed for experiments.
Shipping
Dry ice.
Warranty
