Characterization of β1 integrin expression in brain pericytes and brain endothelial cells (BECs). Cells were cultured on collagen I for 2 days, and then expression of integrin subunits was analyzed by flow cytometry. Note that in contrast to BECs, which expressed equivalent levels of the α5 and α6 subunits, and relatively high levels of α1 and α2 subunits, pericytes expressed high levels of α5, but much lower levels of the α1, α2, and α6 subunits.
