Primary neonatal microglia were collected as previously described [16 (link)]. Briefly, mixed glial cell cultures were maintained in PDL-coated T75 or T175 flasks (Genesee Scientific, San Diego, CA) in D10C media: DMEM (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated horse serum (Gemini Bio-Products, West Sacramento, CA), 10% F12 medium (Sigma), 2 mM L-glutamine (Gibco/Thermo Fisher Scientific), 5 mM HEPES (Gibco/Thermo Fisher Scientific), 100 IU/mL penicillin and 100 μg/mL streptomycin (Gibco/Thermo Fisher Scientific) for up to four weeks. Starting on week 2 and every week thereafter, floating and loosely adherent microglia were harvested by manual agitation.

Cells were pelleted by centrifugation at 835 × g for 15 min at 4 °C, washed in Hank's buffered saline solution, frozen in a viable state in DMSO Freeze media (Invitrogen; Gaithersburg, MD), and stored in liquid nitrogen until used. Frozen cells were maintained in DMEM/F12 (Invitrogen) supplemented with 5% heat-inactivated horse serum (Gemini BioProducts, W. Sacramento, CA) and 100 units/ml penicillinstreptomycin. Cells were passaged by trypsinization. All cells were incubated in a 5% carbon dioxide atmosphere at 37 °C. The culture medium was changed every second day, and cells were passaged every 2-4 days using accutase (PAA Laboratories GmbH, Linz, Austria).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
