Abstract excerpt
In microglia, it is difficult to introduce exogenous genes of interest even by recombinant adenovirus vectors (Ad) which can infect with high efficiency only to the cells expressing coxackievirus and adenovirus receptors (CAR). We found a lack of CAR expression in primary cultured murine microglia (PCMG) and its immortalized cell line MG5 by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. In order to improve the...
