Fig. 4. Morphological assessment of magnetically separated microglia.

Fig. 4

Phase contrast microscopy was used to study microglial morphology. In confluent mixed glial cultures (A) abundant microglia are within the astrocyte layer. In magnetically separated microglia dramatic morphology changes, typical of activated microglia were observed with LPS (100ng/ml for 24 h) treatment (C) compared to unstimulated microglia (B).
