Hello, everyone:

I have a colleague who wants to study microglial cells in cat brain.  Do
any of you know of a marker for microglial cells?  (I've looked, but so far
have only found MHC II markers used to study activated microglia.)  We
would prefer an antibody that is specific for cat or cross-reacts, but any
other that we could test for cross-reactivity would also be helpful.

The application would be to stain either parrafin-embedded tissue or frozen
sections.  I would also like to hear about any markers that would work for
flow cytometry.

Thanks in advance,

Rick Meister
