Journal ArticleDOI
Heterogeneity in the distribution and morphology of microglia in the normal adult mouse brain
TL;DR: Examination of the distribution of microglia in the normal adult mouse brain using immunocytochemical detection of the macrophage specific plasma membrane glycoprotein F4/80 found no evidence of monocyte-like cells in the adult CNS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Turnover of resident microglia in the normal adult mouse brain
TL;DR: From morphologic evidence and comparison of labelling indices at different survival times, it is concluded that resident microglia can synthesise DNA and go on to divide in situ; cells are recruited from the circulating monocyte pool through an intact blood-brain barrier and rapidly differentiate into residentmicroglia.
Book ChapterDOI
Antigen markers of macrophage differentiation in murine tissues.
TL;DR: Several membrane marker antigens are considered which have proved useful in studying the life history and biologic properties of macrophages, and relate immunochemical studies on antigen expression to lineage analysis and macrophage differentiation in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Upregulation of the macrophage scavenger receptor in response to different forms of injury in the CNS

TL;DR: A potential role for the macrophage scavenger receptor in the CNS in the clearance of debris during acute neuronal degeneration is indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tumor necrosis factor mRNA localized to Paneth cells of normal murine intestinal epithelium by in situ hybridization.
TL;DR: A low level of TNF bioactivity, but no immunoreactivity, was detected in normal small intestine, and TNF production in resting Paneth cells appears to be post-transcriptionally controlled.
