Product Overview

Microglia Remover is anionic liposomes suspension containing clodronic acid. When this product is phagocytosed by microglia as foreign substances, clodronic acid is released within the cells, causing cell death. By encapsulating clodronic acid in liposomes, it is taken up into microglia more efficiently than clodronic acid alone. Microglia remover (for Control) (sold separately, Product Number 131-19511) is also available as a control for experiments.

Features

  • Microglia can be removed in approximately 1-3 days after administration
  • Less expensive than commercial microglia removal feeds

Product Information

Lipid composition Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, Dipalmitoylphosphatidylserine and Cholesterol
Average particle size 100 nm
Formulation Phosphate Buffered Saline sterilized with 0.22 μm filter

Protocol

Intracerebral infusion

  1. 1-2 μL Microglia Remover or Microglia Remover (for Control) are infused into the cerebral parenchyma.
  2. Assess the depletion of microglia in 1-3 days post-infusion.

Application Data

Microglia removal in mouse cerebral cortex

After inserting a 33 G needle into the mouse cerebral cortex, 1 µL of Microglia Remover (for Control) or Microglia Remover (this product) was injected, respectively, and sampled after 3 days.

[Result]
In the control group, microglia (or macrophages) accumulated in large numbers at the site of injury.
On the other hand, the “Microglia Remover” group showed inhibition of the accumulation of microglia in the injured area and observed a decrease or regression in the number of microglia in the surrounding area.

FAQ

About usage

Are there any precautions when using the product?
Clodronate liposomes may precipitate after long-term storage. slowly invert the vial several times until the suspension appears homogeneous by visual inspection.

Are there any precautions for storage?
Avoid freezing and close the cap of the tube to prevent an influence on liposomes caused by oxidation.

About application

Is it possible to remove macrophages?
It is known that clodronate liposomes can also remove macrophages, which may be possible in principle, but we have not conducted any experiments.
