Culture and characterisation of canine mitral valve interstitial and endothelial cells. Issue 1 (April 2015) - Liu, M.-M.
Highlights Successful culture and characterisation of valve interstitial and endothelial cells. Identification of CD31 expression and Dil-Ac-LDL uptake as the prime markers for differentiating VECs from VICs. A specific endothelial culture medium for primary VEC cultures enhanced the endothelial properties of the cells.
