Abstract 

The monoclonal antibody QH1, which recognizes quail endothelial and hemopoietic cells, was found to label microglia in the developing and mature brain of the quail. Forms of microglia similar to those described in mammals were labelled. Ameboid microglia predominated at embryonic stages, became less numerous in late embryonic development, and disappeared completely by day 10 post-hatch (P10). Poorly ramified microglia were present as early as day 5 of incubation (E5), and were progressively replaced by mature ramified microglia from E14 onwards. From P10 onwards, ramified microglia were the only microglial form seen in the quail brain.
