The protocol presented here allows the transplantation of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived human microglia (iPSMG) into the brain via a transnasal route in immunocompetent mice. The method for the preparation and transnasal transplantation of cells and the administration of cytokine mixture for the maintenance of iPSMG is shown.
