Immunologic phenotype of cultured endothelial cells: quantitative analysis of cell surface molecules

Abstract excerpt

Endothelial cells express a wide spectrum of surface molecules involved in multiple vascular functions. We quantitatively determined an extensive immunologic phenotype of endothelial cells through a large panel of antibodies directed against i) well-known endothelial molecules CD31, CD34, CD49b, e, f, CD51, CD54, CD55, CD62E and P, CD105, CD106, HLA class I and HLA class II; ii) molecules defined by monoclonal...
