Transcriptome sequencing reveals that LPS-triggered transcriptional responses in established microglia BV2 cell lines are poorly representative of primary microglia
Background Microglia are resident myeloid cells in the CNS that are activated by infection,
neuronal injury, and inflammation. Established BV2 microglial cell lines have been the …
