MARKERS OF ENDOTHELIAL CELLS AND USES THEREOF

摘要

The presently disclosed subject matter relates to the identification of markers of endothelial cells which are in a quiescent or activated state, and more specifically to beta tubulin isotypes as markers which are differentially expressed between endothelial cells in these states. The beta tubulin isotypes can be used for the identification of candidate agents which selectively bind quiescent or activated endothelial cells, and to identify candidate agents which inhibit or promote angiogenesis and/or vascular function.
