Cultures of microglial cells were prepared from primary rat brain cultures of astrocytes. Microglia appeared under two main forms: ameboid and ramified. Only the former were capable of ingesting opsonized latex particles of 1 and 6 micron; while the latter, which appeared later in culture, were not capable of phagocytosis. When gangliosides (10(-6) M), which are known for their neuronotrophic capacity in vitro, were added to the growth medium (for 20 min) they stimulated the phagocytosis of ameboid microglia 2-fold.
