I've been culturing mixed glia and getting microglia from them for years, but it's always struck me that they look slightly yellow under the microscope. If you take a lysate of microglial cell as well, if you look at it, it is yellow-tinged too! Does anybody know what it is that the microglia are full of that gives them this colour? I've never seen this with any other cell type. Thanks!
