a. Summarizes the harvest yields on the day of MG isolation (mixed glial cells) and then after 21 days in vitro; with mixed glial cells cultured with 5 ng/ml GM-CSF through all the days. b. The purity of the MG was determined by staining for CD11b and CD45. Values are given as mean ± S.E.M. Data presented are representative of n = 5 separate MG isolations and primary culture set-ups each for male and female WT mice, post-MCAO. Representative dot plots indicating decrease in the CD11b+CD45hi (activated microglia/infiltrating macrophages) in c. male and d. female primary MG cultures. Statistical analysis was performed using Student’s t-test. Significant differences between sample means are indicated as ***P≤0.001 as compared to the values from day of MG isolation
