Most in vitro investigations of endothelial cell function have been based on the behaviour of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) in primary tissue culture. However, it is becoming apparent that there is a marked degree of heterogeneity among endothelial cells derived from different vascular beds. We have studied primary HUVEC from 45 umbilical cords. Contrary to previously published reports, we were...
