Abstract excerpt
Endothelial cells perform a large array of physiological functions that are influenced by their cellular heterogeneity in the different vascular beds. Vein endothelial cells isolated from the umbilical cords are commonly used to study vascular endothelium. Primary cultures of these cells, however, have low proliferative capacity and a limited life span. We have immortalized bovine umbilical vein endothelial cells...
