Abstract excerpt
Recent studies suggest that microglia over-expressing mutant human superoxide dismutase (mSOD1(G93A)) may contribute to motoneuron death in a transgenic mouse model of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. To further assess the relative neurotoxicity of wild-type microglia, mSOD1(G93A) microglia, and microglia over-expressing wild-type human SOD1, we used primary cultures of microglia and motoneurons in the...
