Abstract excerpt
Culture systems as models for disease are only valid as long as they are comparable to in vivo conditions. The phenotype of cultured endothelial cells (ECs) has only been sporadically compared to the corresponding phenotype in vivo. Thus, we compared by immunolocalization the endothelial expression of ICAM-1, VCAM, and E-selectin in vivo in stimulated/unstimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) as...
