Microglia develop in cultures initiated from disaggregated neopallial cells of newborn C,H/HeJ mice when the cultures are subjected to nutritional deprivation for 10 or more days (Ha0 et al: Int J Dev Neurosci 9:l-14,1991). In the present experiments, the cultures were pulsed with BrdU for 3 hours a

โฆ Synopsis
We have shown that astroglia cultures initiated from newborn mouse neopallium contain microglia progenitor cells. Astroglia secrete growth factor( s) that transform the progenitor cells into microglia. One of the trophic factors is bone marrow macrophage growth factor CSF-1. Mouse embryonic fibroblast cells STO also secrete trophic factor(s) that acts synergistically o r additively with CSF-I on microglia progenitor cells. Using limiting dilution analysis we estimated that in the presence of CSF-1 and STO cells, 1 in every 8 cells in astroglia cultures is a potential microglia progenitor cell. t \ 1993 Wiley-Llss, Inc ( a ) were grown in regular medium with the STO feeder layer or 1 . 1
were grown with the STO feeder layer in regular niedium to which 20% LM cell conditioned medium containing CSF-1 was added. In all cultures the total number of cells was the same? but the ratio between astroglia and irradiated STO cells varied (see text).
