| Type | MGI:General | Description | in culture, primary microglia isolated from newborn pups exhibit an increased number of TUNEL+ apoptotic cells relative to wild-type microglia protein level of cleaved Caspase-3 (c-Casp3) is increased in microglia cell lysates, whereas protein levels of pro-Caspase3 (the inactive precursor to c-Casp3) and Bcl-2 (an anti-apoptotic protein) are decreased, suggesting accelerated microglial apoptosis |
