Transgenic expression of hCD33M in mouse microglial dampens phagocytosis. a Flow cytometry-based competitive phagocytosis gating strategy for WT (GFPhCD33) and hCD33M-Tg (GFP+hCD33M+) microglia. The competitive phagocytotic assay was carried out with hCD33M-Tg microglia on a mCD33+/+ background (be) or mCD33−/− background (fi) where the non-transgenic (hCD33M) microglia are WT or mCD33−/−, respectively. Flow cytometry-based uptake of b, f dextran particles (14 independent experiments for mCD33+/+ and 4 independent experiments for mCD33−/−), c, g polystyrene beads (11 independent experiments and 6 independent experiments for mCD33−/−), d, h myelin (5 independent experiments and 5 independent experiments for mCD33−/−), and e, i aggregated Aβ1-42 (5 independent experiments and 5 independent experiments for mCD33−/−). For cells on a mCD33+/+ background (be), a representative flow cytometry histogram is shown for each cargo and summary plots for each assay, where the average value for the hCD33 non-expressing cells was set to 100%. Statistical significance based on a paired Student’s T-test.
