To provide an "in vitro" system for studying brain capillary function, we have developed a process of coculture that closely mimics the "in vivo" situation by culturing brain capillary endothelial cells on one side of a filter and astrocytes on the other. Under these conditions, endothelial cells retain all the endothelial cell markers and the characteristics of the blood-brain barrier, including tight junctions and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase activity. The average electric resistance for the ...[more]
