Abstract:

To establish a simple and feasible method for isolation of highly purified rats brain microvascular endothelial cells(RBMECs)from 7-10 days SD rats,the relatively pure cerebral microvessel fragments were obtained by careful dissection in dispase II and three times centrifugation with dextran.After digested with collagenase/dispase enzyme,cells were grown in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 at 37 ℃,then were identificated by the factor Ⅷ-related antigen.The results showed that primary endothelium cells formed monolayers with the characteristic cobble-stone morphology and were strongly positive for Ⅷ-related antigen factor.It was indicated that relatively pure primary culture of RBMECs was successfully established using this method.
