We studied the expression of the mannose receptor (ManR) in rat microglial cells. Microglial cells are the central nervous system resident macrophages, key participants of the innate immune response. ManR is a differentiation marker and a relevant glycoprotein for the phagocytic and endocytic functi
We characterized morphological effects of the endogenous excitotoxin, glutamate in ex vivo retinal segments prepared from 30-day-old rats. Initial changes induced by glutamate consisted of reversible, sodium-dependent Mu ¨ller cell swelling. This glial swelling was mimicked by glutamate transport su
## Abstract In this study, we demonstrate that Müller cells cultured from human retinas are capable of strongly expressing the glycine transporter Glyt‐1 as assessed by immunocytochemistry. By contrast, intact normal and pathological human retinas exhibit Glyt‐1 immunoreactivity only in neurons. Th
## Abstract Retinal glial Müller cells are characterized by dominant K^+^ conductances. The cells may undergo changes of their membrane currents during ontogeny and gliosis as described in rabbit and man. Although the rat retina is often used in physiological experiments, the electrophysiology of r
