Abstract

Glia cells have a crucial role in the central nervous system and are involved in the majority of neurological diseases. While glia isolation techniques are well established for rodent brain, only recent advances in isolating glial cells from human brain enabled analyses of human-specific glial-cell profiles. Immunopanning that is the prospective purification of cells using cell type-specific antibodies, has been successfully established for isolating glial cells from human fetal brain or from tissue obtained during brain surgeries. Here, we describe an immunopanning protocol to acutely isolate glial cells from post-mortem human brain tissue for e.g. transcriptome and proteome analyses. We enriched for microglia, oligodendrocytes and astrocytes from cortical gray matter tissue from three donors. For each enrichment, we assessed the presence of known glia-specific markers at the RNA and protein levels. In this study we show that immunopanning can be employed for acute isolation of glial cells from human post-mortem brain, which allows characterization of glial phenotypes depending on age, disease and brain regions.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 31 December 2021.
All research outputs
#14,214,773
of 22,788,370 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience
#2,197
of 4,236 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#237,567
of 498,488 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience
#64
of 123 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,788,370 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,236 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.2. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 498,488 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 123 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
