Abstract
⺠We describe a novel simple method of culturing brain pericytes. ⺠Cultures are highly homogeneous, expressing NG2, PDGFβ-receptor, and CD146. ⺠Closely align with endothelial vascular cords in matrigel co-culture. ⺠Can be passaged to high number without premature differentiation. ⺠Both low and high passage cells upregulate α-SMA when cultured in DMEM + 10% FBS.
