History
For many years the brain has been thought to be an immunologically privileged site, where no immuno-surveillance of leukocytes occurs. This assumption gained support from the existence of the BBB
However, It is now known that an immunological reaction occurs in the brain in response to a number of disease processes that affect the CNS and spinal cord. Extensive migration of Leukocytes into the CNS during various inflammatory brain diseases.There are also functional lymphatic vessels that can carry fluid and immune cells from cerebrospinal fluid.
Immunocompetent sites Thymus, bone marrow, spleen ,lymph nodes

Immune response
Non specific(innate/early/short) -generalised to pathogen infection - they do not target a specific cell type
Phagocytes=cells which eat foreign material to destroy them. Formed from stem cells in bone marrow. Undifferentiated Pluripotent cells in bone marrow.

Both Residential microglia and blood-derived macrophages markers (cD68, CD14,CD11) and class II major histocompatibility antigens and therefore can also become antigen presenting cells (APC) for lymphocytes.
Microglial cells are activated in infectious diseases, degenerative diseases and other types of CNS injuries. They also become phagocytic and develop into macrophages.
Interaction with Astrocytes - the interaction with astrocytes is if signals from the periphery reach the astrocytes it will call upon microglia through MCP1 recruitment for the macrophages to tgo to the astrocytes.
Microglia- Inflammation it can be a genesis phase , may have damaging or protective function.
MIrogliala Pathology -stained using an antibody to CD68 which a is a macrophage marker which also is present on microglia. Found in amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease.
