Enriched populations of human microglial cells were isolated from mixed cell cultures prepared from embryonic human telencephalon tissues. Human microglial cells exhibited cell type-specific antigens for macrophage-microglia lineage cells including CD11b (Mac-1), CD68, B7-2 (CD86), HLA-ABC, HLA-DR a

Cytokines are endogenous mediators in inflammatory and immunologic host defense reactions. In various diseases cytokines produced in excess cause systemic or local toxic effects. Cytokines therefore are tightly controlled by regulation of their biosynthesis and release and by counteracting mechanism
The JAK/STAT pathway is recognized as one of the major mechanisms by which cytokine receptors transduce intracellular signals. This system is regulated at multiple levels, including JAK activation, nuclear trafficking of STAT factors, and negative feedback loops. Gene deletion studies have implicate
