Abstract excerpt
We have succeeded in obtaining cultures of pure rat islet capillary endothelial cells. These multiply in vitro and exhibit the same antigenic phenotype as expressed in situ: von Willebrand factorhigh, Ox43 (rat endothelial marker)weak, and Ox2 (thymocyte and brain endothelium marker)high. This ph...
