Microglia represent 5–10% of cells in the central nervous system (CNS) and contribute to the development, homeostasis, injury, and repair of neural tissues. As the tissue-resident macrophages of the CNS, microglia execute core innate immune functions such as detection of pathogens/damage, cytokine secretion, and phagocytosis. However, additional properties that are specific to microglia and their neural environment are beginning to be appreciated. This unit describes approaches for purification of microglia by Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) using microglia-specific surface markers, or for enrichment of microglia by magnetic sorting and immunopanning. We also provide detailed information about culturing primary microglia from various developmental stages. Throughout, we focus on special considerations for handling microglia and compare the relative strengths or disadvantages of different protocols.
