Article Snippet: Ref. [ ] , High-throught, the model harbors 96 or 40 chips in a 384-well plate. In each chip, a perfused vessel of BMECs was grown against an extracellular matrix gel, astrocytes and pericytes were added on the other side of the gel to complete the BBB model. , Human TY10 cell line (isolated from normal brain tissue from a patient with meningioma) , Human hBPCT cell line pericytes from brain tissue of a patient t. Human hAst cell line astrocytes from human primary astrocytes distributed by Lonza. , No artificial membranes, using extracellular matrix gel , Collagen-I , No electrode , claudin-5, VE-cadherin, PECAM-1 (immunofluorescence staining) , Not measured , FITC-dextran (20 kDa) , Developed a high-throughput plate-based model, and used to assess passage of large biopharmaceuticals across the BBB..
