The Immortalized Mouse Cerebral Capillary Endothelial Cell Line (cEND) provides a useful model for studies involving the differentiation and regulation of BBB as it shares principal features of the BBB in vivo, specifically in that 1) it retains the endothelial markers VE-Cadherin and PECAM-1; 2) it displays tight junction associated markers such as occludin, claudin-3, -5, -12, 3) it expresses the BBB marker protein Glut-1 and 4) it shows high electrical resistance, representing barrier properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey elements and design rationale\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel identity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Immortalized Mouse Cerebral Capillary Endothelial Cells (cEND) is supplied as an immortalized cell line derived from Mouse brain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth properties:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adherent, spindle-shaped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e For optimal cell culture, we recommend using PriCoat™ T25 Flasks (G299) or coating your preferred vessels with Applied Cell Extracellular Matrix (G422).
