Flow Cytometric Analysis BV2 cells were harvested by centrifuging after washing the BV2 cells with cold PBS. Next, BV2 cells were stained with anti-mouse CD86-FITC or anti-mouse CD206-APC followed standard protocols and manufacturer's instructions. Finally, the stained cells were immediately analyzed by ow cytometry (BD, USA). PC-12 cells were harvested and washed with cold PBS, followed by the addition of 195 μL binding buffers. Then incubate the cells with 5 μL Annexin V-FITC for 10 min and 10 μL PI for 5 min at room temperature in the dark. Finally, the stained cells were immediately analyzed by ow cytometry (BD, USA).
CCK-8 Assay PC-12 cells with or without Aβ1-42 were cultured with the supernatant of different groups of BV2 cells in 96-well plates. Then, 10 μL CCK-8 reagents per well were added to the cells at 37°C for 2 h, and the absorbance at 450 nm was measured to calculate the cell viability using a multi-mode reader (LD942, Beijing, China).
