## Abstract We report the regionโspecific expression of a novel gene, named __mario__, whose expression domain is in the distal tip of the presumptive and developing digit 2 region in the developing chick wing bud. The anterior regionโspecific expression of __mario__ corresponds well with the prese

Abstract
In accordance with a high degree of spatial organization in the central nervous system (CNS), most CNS diseases display a regional distribution. Although microglia have been established as key players in various CNS diseases, it is not yet clear whether microglia display regionโspecific properties. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the existence of distinct microglia phenotypes in various regions of the healthy, adult mouse CNS. Using ex vivo flow cytometric analysis surface expression of CD11b, CD40, CD45, CD80, CD86, F4/80, TREMโ2b, MHCII, CXCR3, CCR9, and CCR7 were analyzed. Most of these immunoregulatory markers were found on microglia and showed significant regionโspecific differences in expression levels. These findings considerably corroborate the existence of immunological diversity among microglia in the healthy, unchallenged CNS of adult mice. ยฉ 2008 WileyโLiss, Inc.
