<p class="jove_content">Identifying microglia (MG) and peripheral infiltrating macrophages (M&#248;) in injured spinal cords is difficult. In this protocol, flow cytometry (FCM) was used to identify M1-like MG, M2-like MG, M1-like M&#248;, and M2-like M&#248;, respectively. This technology can also be applied to other central nervous system diseases to understand the role of MG and M&#248;.</p>

Identifying Microglia and Peripheral Infiltrating Macrophages in the Injured Spinal Cords Using Flow Cytometry

In a healthy spinal cord, peripheral infiltrating macrophages are almost undetectable, and microglia (MG) participate in maintaining the stability of the ...
