Immortalization of murine microglial cells by a v-raf / v-myc carrying retrovirus
TL;DR: Since BV-2 cells retain most of the morphological, phenotypical and functional properties described for freshly isolated microglial cells, it can be concluded that J2 virus infection has resulted in the immortalization of active microglia cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
An immortalized cell line expresses properties of activated microglial cells.
TL;DR: The immortalized cell line (BV‐2) shares properties with body macrophages with respect to the antigen profile, their phagocytic capacity and antimicrobial activity, and represents a suitable model for in vitro studies of activated microglial cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective immortalization of murine macrophages from fresh bone marrow by a raf/myc recombinant murine retrovirus
Elisabetta Blasi,Bonnie J. Mathieson,Luigi Varesio,John L. Cleveland,Patricia A. Borchert,Ulf R. Rapp +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the combination of two v-onc genes (raf and myc) induces the selective proliferation of monocytic cells from fresh murine bone marrow (BM) in the absence of a specific growth factor supplement, thus mimicking the alternative pathways that can be followed by committed BM stem cells in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phagocytic killing of Candida albicans by different murine effector cells
TL;DR: Three major phagocytic populations in the mouse were tested in vitro for killing of Candida albicans by means of 51Cr release assay: early inflammatory peritoneal polymorphonuclear cells (PMN), unfractionated or adherent spleen cells and residentPeritoneal macrophages (PEC).
Journal ArticleDOI
S100B expression in and effects on microglia.
Cecilia Adami,Guglielmo Sorci,Elisabetta Blasi,Anna Lisa Agneletti,Francesco Bistoni,Rosario Donato +5 more
TL;DR: A possible role for S100B in the accomplishment/regulation of microglial cell functions is suggested after it was found in microglia in the form of a filamentous network as well as diffusely in the cytoplasm and associated with intracellular membranes.
