Hi Parha...

The well known M2 microglial markers till date are--Arginase-1, CD206 and Ym1

I am also attaching articles for your reference.

Estefania Azevedo

I agree with anti-arginase, anti-Ym1 and there is also Fizz1 and MRC1. You should take a look at this paper also. They did a transcriptome of M2 polarized macrophages.
