Using morphological, immunocytochemical, and functional parameters we have previously shown that highly purified adult rat microglial cells undergo a process of "activation" when cultured in a serum-containing medium in the absence of added proinflammatory substances or other factors (Slepko and Lev
The expression of calcium-activated potassium currents (IK(Ca)), delayed outward rectifier potassium currents (IK(slow)), and transient outward currents (IA) was studied during the development of the nervous system of the leech using the whole-cell patch-clamp recording technique. Dissociated cells
## Abstract The ability to create and maintain neuron and glial cell coβcultures is important for neuronal regeneration as well as for fundamental studies on neuron and glial cell interactions. We demonstrate here a method for spatially controlling the arrangement of neurons and glial cells. Line p
Microglial cells in the healthy adult CNS possess a characteristic ramified morphology and show little or no expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) or adhesion molecules. In contrast, microglial cells isolated from newborn rat brains inevitably show a nonramified amoeboid morphology an
