Description
CNS-delivery of Interleukin 4 (IL-4) - via a lentiviral-mediated gene therapy strategy - skews microglia to proliferate, inducing these cells to adopt the phenotype of slowly proliferating cells. Transcriptome analysis revealed that IL-4-treated microglia express a broad number of genes normally encoded by embryonic microglia. Overall design: RNAseq analysis of sorted microglia from mice receiving IL-4 gene therapy
