Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We established a co-culture system to investigate endothelial cell-fibroblast interaction in scleroderma (systemic sclerosis, SSc). Such a system allows reciprocal interaction between these cells. The pattern of phenotypic modulation for normal and SSc fibroblasts in co-culture was compared. METHODS: A virally transformed human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) derived cell line (1E-7) was...
