Dear Barbara: Please see the following reference that may help with the identification and sorting of microglia: Andrew L. Ford, Anna L. Goodsall, William Hickey, Jonathon D. Sedgewick Normal Adult Ramified Microglia Separated from Other Central Nervous System Macrophages by Flow Cytometric Sorting Journal of Immunology, 1995, 154:4309-4321.

Medline searches for specific surface markers for those populations have not yet yielded much useful information. Thanks a lot for your help.
