There are groups that have immortalized human microglia cells call BB-2 cells.  They are hard to find, but i know whoever has them, they are all willing to share.

thanks

Dear Sandra, could you please share more info on this cells? because seems that I cannot find any infos...thanks! 

this is what I've found...

Thanks Fulvio, I had seen this conversation, which is why I was hoping for an update - seems to have gone no where. It also seems that BB-2 are macrophage, so not the best option for my experiments. I will keep trying for the HMO6 :-/

Cheers !

Good Luck Bobbi! If you manage to obtain some HMO6..please share! :) :) cheers

Hi Bobbi,

If you are still interested in immortalized human microglia, you can see if the cells used in this paper is suitable for your experiment:
