Fig. 1From: Protein kinase C-delta inhibition protects blood-brain barrier from sepsis-induced vascular damageHBMVEC cultured under flow in the vascular channel of B3C form a complete lumen. The B3C is assembled on a microscope glass slide (a) with plastic tubes (dark blue) allowing access to individual vascular channels and the tissue compartment (b). Magnified (c) view shows HBMVEC were cultured to confluence in the vascular channels. 3D reconstruction of confocal images (d) of HBMVEC stained with f-actin (green) and Draq5 (red) after 72 h of flow culture (0.1 μl/min)Back to article page
