The pharmacological study of the blood-brain barrier has often been hampered by the unavailability of a large number of pure and fully differentiated brain capillary endothelial cells. Here we describe a homogeneous culture of brain capillary endothelial cells isolated from bovine brain (BBECs), which retain at least some phenotypic characteristics of the functional blood-brain barrier: intracellular tight...
