Microglial cells account for approximately 12–15 % of the cells in the central nervous system (CNS). Microglial cells are polarized by pathological stimuli such as cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors, and play important roles in the deterioration and repair of the CNS. Here, we established cultures of primary microglial cells isolated from the brains of adult C57/BL6 mice using Percoll density gradients. The cells were cultured and stained with antibodies against CD11b, glial fibrillary acidic protein, myelin basic protein and NeuN to determine microglial, astroglial, oligodendroglial, and neuronal cells respectively. Moreover, the cells were exposed to interferon-γ (IFNγ) plus interleukin-1β (IL-1β) or IL-4 for 24 h to demonstrate the activating phenotypes with inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), Ym1, and Iba-1 immunoblotting. At least 95 % of the cultured cells were CD11b-positive and -negative for astroglial, neuronal, and oligodendrocyte markers. IFNγ plus IL-1β treatment resulted in classical activation, which was represented by an increase in iNOS. The cells also displayed alternative activation, which increased Ym1 when treated with IL-4. The present study indicates that the microglial cells isolated as described here are a useful tool for elucidating adult microglial function.
