METHOD OF SCREENING ENDOTHELIAL CELLS FOR ANGIOGENIC CAPABILITY

摘要

Provided is a method of screening a primary endothelial cell population for angiogenesis capability comprising: (a) measuring the percentage of cells that are positive for VEGF R2 and CD34, the level of VEGF R2, or measuring the VEGF R2 to VEGF R1 ratio in the population; and (b) selecting those populations where the measured percentage or the measured ratio is over a threshold value.
