      DescriptionIMG Mouse Microglial Cell Line
      OverviewImmortalized MicroGlial Cell Line or IMG is an immortalized microglial cell line derived from adult murine brain infected with the v-raf/v-myc retrovirus. IMG cells express markers that are specific to adult primary microglial cells (F4/80 and CD11b) as assessed by flow cytometry and are responsive to pro- and anti-inflammatory signals (1). They have been shown to phagocytose foreign particles and misfolded proteins such as the amyloid-beta peptide (1). IMG cells are rapidly dividing cells that are typically small and round with few or no processes when cultured in medium containing serum.

      Background InformationMicroglia are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), and account for 10-15% of all cells found within the brain. Microglial cells play an important role in maintaining the health of the CNS by the removal of pathogens, infectious agents and damaged cells through phagocytosis. Microglial cells have also been extensively studied for their harmful roles in a variety of neurodegenerative disease including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
