The pararagraph describing the murine and rat cells is somewhat confusing. It states:"Two commonly used cell lines of this type are the BV2 and N9 microgliacell lines which are derived from rat and mouse, respectively." So, it seems that BV2 cells are derived from rat. But the original article (cited in the paper) is clear: "Immortalization of murine microglial cells by a v-raf/v-myc carrying retrovirus" (PMID:2110186). So a small correction may be necessary? Also, it could be interesting if the Authors could explain how they got HMO6 cells, because the original owner is not willing to share with anyone (proposed collaboration and/or money exchange)
