Molecular anatomy of interendothelial junctions in human blood-brain barrier microvessels.
Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2004 Immunogold cytochemical procedure was used to study the localization at the ultrastructural level of interendothelial junction-associated protein molecules in the human brain blood microvessels, representing the anatomic site of the blood-brain barrier ...
