Perivascular macrophages (pvMs) are important for brain drainage and immune regulation. Here the authors analyse various reporter mouse strains for finer mapping of pvM subsets and lineage differentiation, and propose CX3CR1negative and CD45low as additional markers of intermediate pvMs for studying this heterogenous population.
