I am currently looking to source the BV-2 microglial cell line from a laboratory in Australia or surrounding regions for my research project. Please contact me if your laboratory has these cells or if you know of a laboratory we could contact.
I am also interested in other murine and human microglial cell lines or primary cultures.
Thank you.
Emma, I recommend that you inquire with the lab of Professor Iain L. Campbell (see link below). He is at the University of Sydney. I was a research postgraduate student in his lab and I worked with C8 Microglia and primary murine microglia cultures. I don't recall the lab having the BV-2 cell line, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did. If you are also interested, they do a bit of astrocyte work as well, but mostly on primary murine cultures. You will find Professor Campbell to be very personable.
Another lab you may want to look into is of Professor Gilles Guillemein (see second link below). We collaborated with him several years ago and at the time his lab was culturing primary human astroglia and microglia.
Best.

Thank you so much for that Ricardo - I will definitely look into both the laboratories you have suggested!
