Leduc-Pessah H, Weilinger N, Fan C, Burma N, Thompson R, Trang T (2017) Site-specific regulation of P2X7 receptor function in microglia gates morphine analgesic tolerance. J Neurosci 37:10154-10172.. doi: 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.0852-17.2017
Summary: By selectively ablating microglia in the spinal cord using a Mac-1-SAP the authors demonstrate a causal role for microglia in the development, but not maintenance, of morphine tolerance in male rats.
Usage: Mac-1-SAP or unconjugated Saporin control (15 μg) was administered by intrathecal injection.
