The blood-nerve barrier (BNB) is one of the functional barriers sheltering the nervous system from circulating blood. It is very important to understand the cellular properties of endothelial cells of endoneurial origin because these cells constitute the bulk of the BNB. This chapter describes a standard protocol for isolating the endothelial cells forming the BNB. In addition, methods for confirming some of the barrier properties of isolated endothelial cells are also described.
血神经屏障(BNB)是保护神经系统免受循环血液影响的功能性屏障之一。了解神经内膜来源的内皮细胞的细胞特性非常重要,因为这些细胞构成了血神经屏障的主体。本章描述了一种分离形成血神经屏障的内皮细胞的标准方案。此外,还介绍了确认分离的内皮细胞某些屏障特性的方法。
