VEGF receptor-1 involvement in pericyte loss induced byEscherichia coliin anin vitromodel of blood brain barrier
20 Feb 2013
Abstract excerpt
The key aspect of neonatal meningitis is related to the ability of pathogens to invade the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and to penetrate the central nervous system. In the present study we show that, in an in vitro model of BBB, on the basis of co-culturing primary bovine brain endothelial cells (BBEC) and primary bovine retinal pericytes (BRPC), Escherichia coli infection determines changes of transendothelial...
