CELL LINE OF BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER

摘要

A brain capillary endothelial cell line having the ability of expressing Na+ independent glucose transport carrier (GLUT-1) and/or P-glycoprotein (mdr1a gene product); and an astrocyte cell line which improves the ability of expressing GLUT-1 of the brain capillary endothelial cell by co-culturing with the brain capillary endothelial cell of the above cell line.
