Properties of an immortalised vascular endothelial/glioma cell co-culture model of the blood-brain barrier
1 Apr 1996
Abstract excerpt
In an effort to obtain a useful in vitro model possessing some of the properties of the blood-brain barrier, we have investigated the properties and interactions of immortalized cell lines. Immortalised human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC-304), in co-culture with rat C6 glioma cells in a two-chambered assembly, form tight junctional complexes, and develop a permeability barrier having a high...
