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

## Abstract Within the brain, quinolinic acid (QUIN) is an important neurotoxin, especially in AIDS dementia complex (ADC). Its production by monocytic lineage cells is increased in the context of inflammation. However, it is not known whether QUIN promotes inflammation. Astrocytes are important in
Interferon-gamma-inducible 10 kd protein (IP-10) is an ELR (Glu-Leu-Arg)(-) alpha chemokine with known chemotactic effects on T cells and monocytes, as well as anti-viral, anti-angiogenic, and anti-tumor effects. Previous studies have demonstrated that in cultured rat astrocytes and microglia, stimu
