Microglial cells comprise up to 20 % of the total non-neuronal cell population in the central nervous system (Lawson et al, 1990), although significant regional differences (0.5- 16.6 % of all cells in the brain parenchyma) have been observed (Mittelbronn et al, 2001). Microglial cells are derived from CD45(+) bone
